Just Straight-Up Lyrics; and did you know Gag City was a thing? I did not. Sickening.

This year for Christmas
I'm betting on my odds
That I'll be
In a better place before the
Year moves on

And I know
Santa Claus is wondering if
I really got the things I need

This year's been different
Got a new city to call home
Well
I'd like to say I found
My way on my own
But
There's a million pieces here
They fall together where they will

Now I'm
Getting to know the Christmas cheer
So
I'll buy holly by the bundle
And
I'll hang it by the tree
That
I found on a long walk in our new city

And
I'll listen to the carols
But
I don't know the words
So
I'll sway side-by-side and sing
lalalalalala

This

Year

I'm betting on my odds
That I'll be in a better place before the
Year moves on
And
I know
Santa Claus is wonderin' if I really got the things 
I need

This year for Christmas
I'm betting on my odds that
I'll be in a better place before
The year moves on
And I know
Santa Claus
Is wondering if I really got
The things I need.
