Testo Counting Down to Christmas - Tom Wopat, Clarke Hallum, John Bolton, Liz Callaway & Matthew Lewis
Testo della canzone Counting Down to Christmas (Tom Wopat, Clarke Hallum, John Bolton, Liz Callaway & Matthew Lewis), tratta dall'album A Christmas Story - The Musical
There it is: The house on Cleveland Street
Now! I'm not kidding, do you want to miss it?
My mother in the kitchen
Trying in vain to get us bundled up and out the door
Randy, I mean now!
Mom? Mom!
Randy! Now!
My kid brother, Randy
Aww!
And there I am
Realizing for the first time that time was my enemy
Goodbye, November
Thanksgiving's gone
Now every house in Hohman has a plastic reindeer on its lawn
Ralphie, please!
The season's starting
I'll give you proof:
The Millers bought a nine-foot dancing Santa for their roof
Frank, start the car
The boys are almost ready!
But this year
Don't need another plaid tie
This year, I want a gift my parents won't buy
And I'm running out of time
'Cause it's almost nearly getting close to counting down to Christmas
It's almost time to see the tree light up the town for Christmas
It's thirty-four thousand, fifty-eight minutes away
It's almost nearly getting close to counting down
To Christmas Day
Get away! Get away! Shoo! Shoo!
And then there's my old man
You mangy mutts!
My old man and the neighbor's hounds
Call 'em off!
A battle as fierce as the front lines of 1940
You have a mission
You set a plan
You know to get that gift you've also got to get to your old man
Stupid hillbillies!
And then there's Mother
She can be tough
But gently drop some hints and maybe that might be enough
Ralphie, let's go!
'Cause this year (Come on, Ralphie)
Who wants another wool cap? (Ooh, let's take the back roads!)
I want a gift I want to unwrap (Yes, we're gonna miss it!)
And I (There's not enough time, there's not enough time, there's not enough time)
Am running out of time (to hit these - that window - you're gonna love it)
'Cause it's almost nearly getting close to counting down to Christmas
It's almost time to see the tree light up the town for Christmas
It's thirty-four thousand, fifty-three minutes away (away) (away)
It's almost nearly getting close to counting down
To Christmas Day
Christmas Day
Ahh, Higbee's Department Store
The high-water mark of the pre-Christmas season
Was the corner window display at Higbee's
For several days, the window was curtained and dark
Awaiting the magical night of color and dazzle
That would make Salvador Dali look like Norman Rockwell
