lyrics

A scarf for Mom and a hat for Sister.
A Wii for Brother. For Dad, a transistor?
Grandma wants orchids, Grandpa wants a new PC.
Cousin wants gift cards so she'll be debt-free.

The wrapping is crumpled all over the floor.
The tree is pungent, the fire roars.
Winter moves on, it just seems to soar
Right on by.

The New Year's champagne has been poured and consumed,
And everything's going just right, I assumed.
With calendars trashed, spring's about to be in bloom
Again.

But something's wrong. Yeah, something's wrong.

"Something important. Something I usually remember, but I just can't quite put my finger on it. I- oh."

I forgot my birthday.
Can you believe that?
Everyone forgot it!
No little cone hats.
It falls right between the stockings and fireworks.
It's before resolutions
And after Santa lurks in your living room.

I forgot my birthday.
Can you believe that?
Everyone forgot it!
Well, except for the cat.
We were all caught up in the holiday mirth.
December thirtieth is the date of my birth
And everyone forgot me.

Even me.
