Let's get this over with
We can tell 'em we were feeling sick,
make our presents parting gifts
and slip out unnoticed
Let's not wait for the encore
We've heard all these songs before
Let's find a side door
and get out of here
Cause back at home
we can be alone
And watch the tree
just you and me,
At home
Let's get this over with
I'm tired of being bored stiff
by your brother, and his gang of twits
We can hit the road, we can hit the bricks
When you love someone
you wanna skip right through act one
and leave at intermission
for good
We don't need to go far away
to find mistletoe in a doorway
We can watch the snow
from the bedroom window
At home
Don't need no Pollyanna
No Workplace Ugly Sweater Extravaganza
No awkward pose for the camera
No waving fire-truck Santa
Let's get this over with,
get out ahead of the snow drifts
Just Mr. and Mrs. Smith,
the shades are drawn and the candle's lit
Cause back at home
We can be alone
it just feels right
O holy night
At home
