TENTH AVENUE NORTH
"Mistletoe (The Christmas Sweater Song)"
(Mike Donehey)

Tonight, it's perfect weather
For my Christmas sweater
Could not look any better
Better for my baby tonight

They're running out of eggnog
What's taking her so long
My peppermint's almost gone
Waiting for my baby tonight

[Chorus:]
Hanging 'round the mistletoe
All night, all night long
Wonderin' when my girl will show
And it looks all wrong
Don't be cynical, it's biblical
We're married, did you know?
Hanging 'round the mistletoe

But she told me 5:30
Meet her at the party
But now it's getting late
Late for my baby tonight

But I won't give up
Wait with my moose face mug
Feeling like cousin Eddie
But ready for my baby tonight

[Chorus:]
Hanging 'round the mistletoe
All night, all night long
Wonderin' when my girl will show
It looks all wrong
Don't be cynical, it's biblical
We're married, did you know?
Hanging 'round the mistletoe

[Bridge:]
The sitter was late
So you show up forty-five minutes past 8:00
And our eyes meet across the room
And you call me a lost romantic
Three hours is a bit dramatic
But what Mariah said, you know it's true
All I want for Christmas is you

[Chorus:]
Holding you by the mistletoe
All night, all night long
Kiss my girl, I don't care who knows
'Cause it's not wrong
It's magical, when it's biblical
If you're married and you know
There's something 'bout that mistletoe
