Nutcracker - Straight No Chaser[00:00:00]
Hooray it's Christmas time[00:00:01]
But there's one lousy tradition[00:00:04]
There's a certain show that you will see[00:00:09]
That is all and many would agree[00:00:11]
It is time to find another show[00:00:14]
To substitute for the Nutcracker[00:00:17]
I'm watching the game but something's wrong[00:00:22]
Staring is my wife her face looks long[00:00:25]
I know that look it must be me[00:00:29]
It's not our anniversary[00:00:31]
I shrug no clue[00:00:32]
What did I do [00:00:34]
She stands in disbelief[00:00:35]
What [00:00:36]
This holiday scene brings no laughter[00:00:36]
Forced going to see the Nutcracker[00:00:40]
I try to block it from my mind[00:00:44]
Think fast what reason can I find[00:00:45]
Got work to do I'll fake the flu[00:00:47]
No chance I'm done I'm screwed[00:00:49]
I've seen the Nutcracker 20 times[00:00:50]
Sure it is fun if you are four[00:00:54]
But don't call me a scrooge 'cause it's a bore[00:00:57]
The story's dated and that[00:01:02]
Masking thing freaks me out[00:01:03]
Well guess I'm a guy what can I say [00:01:05]
I'd rather watch football than ballet[00:01:09]
I tried my hardest not to groan[00:01:13]
And pulled the score up on my phone[00:01:14]
As I complained it's not the same [00:01:16]
We're rushing out the door[00:01:18]
All holiday shoppers on the road[00:01:20]
My holiday spirit might explode[00:01:24]
Of course there is no place to park[00:01:27]
We're late the theatres in the dark[00:01:29]
In no small feat we find the seat [00:01:31]
The shows about to start[00:01:33]
Here's that song from Tetris[00:01:34]
And I know it's the part[00:01:42]
When I fight not to fall asleep[00:01:44]
March the wooden[00:01:46]
Soldiers bunch of mice[00:01:49]
Start the fight land of sweets [00:01:51]
Man this stuff's trippy[00:01:53]
By the way this story makes no sense[00:01:56]
Still don't know what[00:01:59]
It means after all these years[00:02:01]
So confusing feel like snoozing[00:02:04]
Eyes are heavy as I start to dream[00:02:08]
Bolt wide awake must've fallen asleep[00:02:14]
Guess I didn't snore or make a peep[00:02:15]
'Cause my wife had no clue I had been out cold[00:02:17]
It's the finale coming up[00:02:20]
'Cause there is no beer left in my cup[00:02:20]
To make it through I'll need another drink[00:02:22]
Snuck out to the lobby oh look I found a TV[00:02:24]
I forgot the game was happening[00:02:28]
It's down to the wire time will soon expire[00:02:31]
Down by one this kick would win it[00:02:34]
Hut hut The ball snagged – oh no [00:02:37]
The kick's bad right right [00:02:39]
No We lost[00:02:41]
No How could this night get any worse [00:02:42]
Now I'm feeling all depressed[00:02:43]
But I still have to act impressed[00:02:45]
A pirouette oh wow that's great[00:02:46]
A six year old could do that too[00:02:48]
So my team lose at the bar[00:02:50]
Now dancing dudes in leotards[00:02:51]
Last Nutcracker hopefully[00:02:52]
But my wife's thinking differently[00:02:55]
She leans in closely whispers softly[00:02:58]
Can't wait for you to take me next year[00:03:01]
