Peace & Happiness

She jumps into his lap
Anticipates his words
He asked her what she wants this year
Her answer well-rehearsed
She said, When you get to my house that night
Just pass me by instead
‘Cause all I really want this year is peace and happiness

Standing in the cold
A man who held a sign
Somebody tried to hand him some change
Thought it was strange that he denied
But as I pulled up closer
I saw that piece of cardboard raised
That all I really want this year is peace and happiness

[Musical interlude]

Oh, so don’t get me a gift
No, don’t you buy me a thing
And don’t you brave the traffic just for something I don’t need
But I still make my Christmas list and this is all it says
That all I really want this year
Oh, all we really need this year is peace and happiness
