about

feat. the sound of glasses; a 1958 recording of a NYC restaurant

lyrics

Christmas Eve dinner; raise a glass saints and sinners
With peace on earth and good will toward men
Herald angels are singing and sleigh bells are ringing
Within earshot of those we’ve forgotten
And here’s to the ones left out of the inn on old Christmas Eve

Loretta’s been sobbing; first Christmas without Bobby
Under the aluminum tree and the lights
She tucks her boys in; and curses the poison
That’s left her alone here tonight
And here’s to the ones left out of the inn on old Christmas Eve

Frances lies awake; been good for goodness sake
Thinking of sugar plum fairies and dew drops and ginger
But the moneys been wrung out; folks downstairs strung out
Santa’s on his own; they can’t even lift but a finger.
And here’s to the ones left out of the inn on old Christmas Eve

Jeremiah’s in the rain, dear; his coat stained with stale beer
His aftershave smells like Lysol because it is
He’s fallen on hard times; resorted to small crime
The carols lift spirits, but not his
And here’s to the ones left out of the inn on old Christmas Eve

Maria with Jose; a baby is on the way
Pero no hay lugar en la posada
But the torches they follow with hope for tomorrow
Say "Dame tu pobre tu cansada"
And here’s to the ones left out of the inn on old Christmas Eve
