Silent Night, Yeah Right

Twas Christmas Eve
And I've been shopping all day,
Boy am I tired
I could use a break in every way.
Got to play Santa Claus
This will be the baby's first,
Get a cup of coffee
To satisfy my thirst.

Mama's wrapping presents
While my muscles are gettin' stiff,
Building a playset
Under the tree go the gifts.
This is so special
This being our baby's first,
Chocolate chip cookies
And milk for Santa's thirst.

Baby is crying now
Waking from an evening nap,
She is being satisfied
Feeding in mama's lap.
Silent night, yeah right
Santa will be here soon,
It's not so silent here
With her crying in the other room.

Not long from now
The playset will be done,
Tomorrow on Christmas Day
She will be having fun.
Mama came in
Bouncing baby in her arms,
Looking quite frantic
She's lost all her charms.

"Almost through here, dear."
As I finished with the playset,
Putting it under the tree
Hoping there's something I didn't forget.
Mama said baby is sleeping
That is a big relief,
Almost ten o'clock
Time for us to go to sleep.

Not asleep thirty minutes
Before we heard the baby cry,
Looking at each other
We shrugged our shoulders and sighed.
Silent night, yeah right
Mama went to check on her,
Silent night, yeah right
A long night ahead, I'm sure.

Now the baby is giggling
Thinking it's time to play,
Doing what we can
Getting her back to sleep some way.
Now it's almost midnight
She's starting to nod her head,
Drifting off to sleep
We'll take her on up to bed.

Silent night, yeah right
Guess what time it is now?
Three in the morning
We'll get through this somehow.
The milk and cookies
Are starting to look really good,
I better leave them be
For Santa as I should.

Finally asleep again
And now it is almost five,
I'm wondering just how much
That I am still alive.
Silent night, yeah right
Who heard of such a thing,
Not the two of us
Not one carol did we sing.

Merry Christmas to all
Hope you slept very well,
Did Santa even come last night?
Can't open my eyes to tell.
Anyways, so you know
There's no such thing as silent night,
When you have your first baby
Just tell someone "Yeah right."

i think it's been like this every year
