lyrics

Tonight I saw a little boy, standing in the line
Had a pair of women's shoes covered with some slime
He looked to me and I couldn't help but look away
So I thought I would write a song to kill the mood on Christmas day

When the cashier rang the shoes up it was clear he couldn't pay
I told the kid not to give up, to ask for lay-a-way
He looked to me and I wasn't sure what I should say
Cashier's are such a bitch when they kill the mood on Christmas day

The shoes he said were for his mom and she was nearly dead
But I thought shoes weren't permitted in a hospital bed
I told him this and he didn't quite know what to say
Logic had just crushed his dreams and killed the mood on Christmas day

By this time this boy was really starting to piss me off
I told him I would buy the shoes if he would just get lost
Now I'm out like, 40 bucks and don't know what to say
I'll go home and write a song to kill the mood on Christmas day
