'Tis the season to be jolly

But how can I be when I have nobody

The yuletide carol doesn't make it better

Knowing that we won't be together

A silent night

I know it's gonna be

Joy to the world

But it's gonna be sad for me

The children can play with their new toys

While their little hearts burst open with joy

And lovers can kiss beneath the mistletoes

The choirs can sing those glorious songs of old

But what is left

Oh, for me to do

Now that it's Christmas

And I don't have you

Oh, what do they do, what do they do

Ooh, what do they do, what do they do

Oh, ho, what do they do, what do they do
