Manhattan Transfer - THE CHRISTMAS SONG (CHESTNUTS ROASTING ON AN OPEN lyrics

Tell you mother to have her vision examined

Tell your practitioner to practice famine

Children wearing suits hold briefcase family feuds

In juke box radio tunes

Coming to a store near you

We're gonna pull you in

Never gonna let you out

Make sure you know your way in a crowd

When freedom only costs as much as you can buy

They'll sell you whole life in pieces, rest till you die

So buy a life and sell a teen prophecy

Glam horror mock silver-screen guillotine

Put the whole family on trial tonight

Turn the television off and turn on the lights

With me...

We're gonna pull you in

Never gonna let you out

Make sure you know your way in a crowd

When freedom only costs as much as you can buy

They'll sell you whole life in pieces, rest till you die

We're gonna pull you in

Never gonna let you out

Make sure you know your way in a crowd

When freedom only costs as much as you can buy

They'll sell you whole life in pieces, rest till you die

Billboards advertise magazines

Record our memories rape our dreams

In Hollywood faces burnt like dollars bills

Why should I trade my drugs for your pills, Mr. Capital Hill?

Sell me war, you're a king now

Get up in the spotlight...

Get up in the spotlight

We're gonna pull you in

Never gonna let you out

Make sure you know your way in a crowd

When freedom only costs as much as you can buy

They'll sell you whole life in pieces, rest till you die

We're gonna pull you in

Never gonna let you out

Make sure you know your way in a crowd

When freedom only costs as much as you can buy

They'll sell you whole life in pieces, rest till you die

Get up get up were in the spotlight

Get up get up were in the spotlight

Spotlight spotlight crowd

Spotlight spotlight crowd

We're in the spotlight now......
