It's christmas. go on and say hello

Up an down the sidewalk I hear the click and clack
Every red lit tail pipe is breathing smoke
Here comes my neighbor. He’s been out working.
Gives me the finger as he smiles hello.

You can see two kids down on the sidewalk
Making a snowman from ice piled on the curb
Using cigarette butts there to form a smile
They talk to him but he doesn’t say a word

Well its Christmas and I know it
From the string lights to the stereo
In the midnight in the morning it’s Christmas
Go on and say hello.

There’s voices moving across the twilight
Somebody laughing with a girl that he bumped into
And on a Thursday or is it tuesday
I wonder what I’m going to wrap up and give to you

There’s an old bum leaned against a bus stop
Cup full of change and a hand drawn holly wreath
Looks in the cup and he yells out toward the street
Who want’s a drink now come on it’s on me.

Its Christmas and I know it
From the white wheels to the stereo
In the midnight in the morning it’s Christmas
Go on and say hello.
