Mama's Gettin' Ready for Christmas Lyrics

Yeah, we all know it's comin'
Every year Thanksgivin' Day
We're gonna wish we hadn't
But we all come over anywayAnd it's nice to see the family
And Lord, her cookin's great
But when she starts a hummin' on 'Jingle Bells'
We know there ain't no escape'Cause mama's gettin' ready for Christmas
And you better stay out of her way
She's got a million lights, a ton of decorations
And they gotta go up todayYeah, there ain't no doubt when they're all pulled out
She's gonna have a job for you
Mama's gettin' ready for Christmas
So you better get ready tooNow she's the queen of redneck Christmas
At least that's what my daddy thinks
While he's climbin' up the ladder with an eight foot Santa
That laughs and waves and blinksLast year my brother Bill almost got killed
Wirin' up that artificial tree
And when I get done with these stupid plastic reindeer

That's the last that woman's gonna see of me, I bet you thatMama's gettin' ready for Christmas
And you better stay out of her way
She's got a million lights, a ton of decorations
And they gotta go up todayNow there ain't no doubt when they're all pulled out
She's gonna have a job for you
Mama's gettin' ready for Christmas
So you better get ready tooOh, the front yard's gonna look like Las Vegas
And folks will come from near and far
'Cause everybody knows when she throws that switch
Christmas is about to startYeah, mama's gettin' ready for Christmas
And you better stay out of her way
She's got a million lights, a ton of decorations
And they gotta go up todayNow there ain't no doubt when they're all pulled out
She's gonna have a job for you
Yeah, mama's gettin' ready for Christmas
So you better get ready tooI said my mama's gettin' ready for Christmas
Merry Christmas everybody
So you better get ready too
