Lyrics:
(Howlin Pelle)
I bought no gifts this year
and I slept with your sister
I know I should have thought twice
Before I kissed her
But with the year we had last
And the dress that she wore
I just went along for the ride
And I came back for more
And I'm sorry baby.....
(Cyndi)
That's all ok honey cause see...
I bought no tree this year
And I slept with your brother
I wrecked your Daddy's car
And went down on your Mother.
I set your record collection on fire
And said I never knew
Felt kind of bad about that
And I know you did too
pre chorus 1 (both)
So whatever you say, it's all fine by me
Who the fuck anyway wants a Christmas tree
Cause the snow keeps on fallin´ even though we were bad
It'll cover the filth, we should both just be glad
Chorus 1 (both)
And spend this Christmas together
verse 2
(Howlin Pelle)
I married you last year
Bet you thought I was sober, right?
But I was drunk as a skunk and I made a mistake
This could all have been over
(Cyndi)
Ah honey please don't
Excuse your behaviour
Cause I hired a hitman and changed your will
It's now all in my favour
pre chorus 2 (both)
So whatever you say, it's all fine by me
Who the fuck anyway wants a Christmas tree
Cause the snow keeps on fallin´ even though we were bad
It'll cover the filth, we should both just be glad
Chorus 2 (both)
And spend this Christmas together
(repeats)
(Howlin Pelle)
Holding on without any reason
Cause something's strong this holiday season
pre chorus 3 (both)
So whatever you say, it's all fine by me
And who the fuck anyway wants a Christmas tree
Cause the snow keeps on fallin´ even though we were bad
It'll cover the filth, we should both just be glad
Chorus 3 (both)
And spend this Christmas together
(repeats)

This song is awesome. Howlin' Pelle and Cyndi Lauper sounds so natural together singing. Best X-Mas song ever :)

[@MsNovemberry]

If The Ramones and The Ronettes had a baby that cursed like a sailor, this song would be it.

My favorite christmas song!

[@jasminetheroux148]

Finally the right time to listen to this again! Even though I've been listening to it all year...whoops.... But the hives are gods seriously all hail the hives. The hives are law you are crime.

[@BienGrandote]

This song is number 4 in sweden chart. That wonderfull!!
Esta canción es número 4 en el chart de Suecia. Que fantástico!!!

[@clarriona]

This song went to #4 in Sweden and it Cyndi's biggest hit there since Girls Just Want To Have Fun!!!

[@kmacmuzikmafia27]

This is one of my all time favorite non traditional Christmas songs ever :)
Cyndi Lauper really has a good voice!

Literally just found it. Happy new year.

[@stevensaxonis1675]

the BEST Christmas tune !!!

[@moaom11]

Agree. The best.

[@Timpriestley]

@@moaom11 Better than Ronan Keating singing Fairy Tale of New York? Surely not...

[@kochen_macht.gluecklich]

Except the fact with the sister

[@JBalphagolf]

This song is just it lol, those lyrics are priceless lol.

[@iisabelt]

They should do a whole christmas album together!

[@way5ide]

Cyndi Lauper!!! that beautifull is your voice, full of emotion. I love you. An angel on heart

[@AnamCara69]

Stephen..?

[@murphsviews]

@@AnamCara69 v is it? Fair enough. Have never seen it in writing, so I had a 50/50 chance of it being ph!

[@Bigishmac]

By far my favourite Christmas song!

[@kendacity]

Good old Cyndi - back at the top where she belongs. Saw her at Shepherds Bush a couple of months ago, and she was bang on. 'Best gig in 20 years' said one cynic.

[@yadiragalvez]

una de mis favoritaz de cindyyyy..

[@mrsnoopyaaaaa]

What a funny comboooooooooo.............................

[@William_from_Mobile]

This feels like the sequel to "Fairytale of New York"

[@desisto2007]

Great Cyndi! I love your duets!

[@Swedishmafia101MemeCorporation]

This song is weirdly wholesome in a way

[@amenduura]

I love that this song is so far from classic xmas songs! love these different kinds, more original ones! good stuff

[@joesilverboot]

valeu cyndi the best voice!

[@luckystaaar]

the best christmas song ever i love you cyndi.

[@mmarcusR]

A masterpiece!

[@calahann]

great song, gonna be a classic

[@andrew1236]

This is such a well written song - love the vocals too - a definite winner - so underrated - it kinda makes you wonder why this song basically flopped - oh well - I LOVE IT!

[@the.ben.johnson]

💥 FREAKING AMAZING!!! 💥

[@ALXXXOOOXXX]

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!"!!! GREAT COLLABORATION!!! ⚡⚡⚡💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥💢💢💢!!!

[@cataldoleone4397]

This track is awesome! Although I can't NOT think of The Pogues "Fairytale of New York" as a source of inspiration for this. I'm sure Cyndi and the Hives are aware of it.

[@aq_nacka]

Definitely!

[@turtlelvr2313]

I hate xmas music, but I love this, it's great! :)

[@Gullet4]

as usual, the Hives rocks!

[@MildKustom]

lets goooo 2021

[@andrew1236]

It is classic - the song had 350,000 views after one year - you would have thought it would done better - this song is so underrated - not a record promoter.

[@flawmore]

This is too good to be reserved for christmas so I listen to it the year around :s

[@GrabbaGrippa]

Who said Christmas is only for the happy few? This Christmas song of a blast is a reality check for us all! Cyndi and the Hives ROCK!!!

[@PrettyRagdoll]

Every Christmas I love this song more

[@lahuzer]

That is a absolutely fantastic christmas song with lyrics that REALLY captures the true christmas spirit. ;)

[@LyricalWax]

Gosh I just love this song.

[@ClovisLima123]

Cyndi is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bulletnose100]

HOLY SHIT BATMAN! this rocks!

[@ClubDominoEnglish]

This song is so beautiful!

[@mmonzeob]

My favorite Christmas song

[@dominicsparacio7252]

Haha My family puts out a Christmas CD every year...And I LOVE the Hives...so, naturally, I check this song out...Haha can you imagine the faces of the family if they hear this?! But it IS awesome, if ONLY it were just SLIGHTLY more family friendly so I could share this AWESOMENESS with the large Italian family I have...haha but this song DOES kick some ASS, let me tell you... :)

[@danielcollares]

AWESOME!!!

[@kskelt]

Haha! I wasn't expecting to like this song when I first heard about it, but now I love it! Makes me giggle - in a good way lol.

[@thehivestv]

This song is available on itunes, emusic, rhapsody, amazon (see description box for links). It's a stand alone single for the holidays. :)
