A festive parody of "Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison.
lyrics
Hey where’d the time go?
Takin’ down the Christmas tree.
To grandmother’s house we’ll go.
Getting back with the family.
Time to go eat some leftovers.
Time to share some pleasantries.
Just yesterday we went over.
Why can’t it just be me?
And you.
My green eyed girl?
You’re my green eyed girl.
Whatever happened?
Christmas Eve was two nights ago.
We spent the night together.
It was just you and me so,
Why do our families
Want to see us so bad.
You know they’re full of insanity.
It just makes me so mad.
But I got you.
My green eyed girl.
You’re my green eyed girl.
Do you remember when?
We used to sing
Fa la la la la la la la la la la ti da.
Fa la la la la la la la la la la ti da.
La ti da.
So hard to find my way.
Around this house in the dark.
All of this paper’s in the way.
And all these cards by Hallmark.
We’ll clean it up tomorrow.
At the foot of the bed’s the cat.
You’re lying on your pillow.
But we don’t worry about all that.
Yes you.
My green eyed girl.
You’re my green eyed girl.
Do you remember when?
We used to sing
Fa la la la la la la la la la la ti da.
Fa la la la la la la la la la la ti da.
La ti da.
