Just got in from the cold, man
After bein’ on the road
Found some parking near the Bowery
Man it’s great to be back home
Gave a homeless guy some spare change
He was sitting by the door
Smiled and he said “God bless you sonny”.....
So I gave him 23 cents more
And Hilly’s got 10 great bands booked
The barmaid’s got some cool tattoos
Everyone’s got green and red hair
And I can get some Holiday booze
All the Christmas lights are turned on
Plus the menorah on the wall
Louise holds it all together
She always loves it when I call
Saw Joey standing on the corner
of Bleecker with Dee Dee and Mark
Wonder if they’ll check the show out
I can’t wait until it starts
And Hilly’s got 10 great bands booked
The barmaid’s got some cool tattoos
Everyone’s got green and red hair
And I can get some Holiday booze
Christmas at C.B.G.B.s
Here with all the friends I know
Christmas at C.B.G.B.s
Man, it’s good to be back home
Both the bathrooms look the same here
Just pick a door and hurry up
Got some students here from Norway
And they can’t seem to get enough
I see the bands behind the main stage
In graffiti-covered rooms
Exchanging gifts and knockin’ beers back
Making sure their guitars’ tuned
And Hilly’s got 10 great bands booked
The barmaid’s got some cool tattoos
Everyone’s got green and red hair
And I can get some Holiday booze
Christmas at C.B.G.B.s
Here with all the friends I know
Christmas at C.B.G.B.s
Man, it’s good to be back home
Watched the last band wrap it’s set up
So I bid the crew good night
Left some non-parils at the door for Louise
And staggered out under the street light
Saw a star above ol’ SoHo
As the cabs went rushing by
And the City seemed at peace now
Set against a blackened sky
And Hilly’s got 10 great bands booked
The barmaid’s got some cool tattoos
Everyone’s got green and red hair
And I can get some Holiday booze
Christmas at C.B.G.B.s
Here with all the friends I know
Christmas at C.B.G.B.s
Man, it’s good to be back home
Christmas at C.B.G.B.s - Christmas at C.B.G.B.s - Christmas at C.B.G.B.s
(Man it’s good to be back home.......)
