Song Lyrics Xmas 2025 Song 12, The Gift That Keeps on Playin'
Mama’s laughin’, Daddy’s cryin’,
Grandpa’s beer is halfway flyin’.
There’s a box wrapped twice in duct tape, too,
With a bow that’s bigger than the TV’s view.
Out pops somethin’ with a plastic grin,
Push the button — and it starts again!
A rubber-lipped fish singin’ off key,
“Take Me to the River” in D-major misery.
It’s the gift that keeps on playin’, just like you said it would,
Every year we pack it up — every year it sounds too good.
From a bad idea to a family gem,
Now it’s Christmas when that thing hums again.
Yeah, it’s the gift that keeps on playin’,
And somehow it still feels good.
Aunt Sue’s sweater’s blinkin’ wild,
Red and green lights drive the cat beguiled.
Uncle Joe’s socks play “Silent Night,”
And nobody’s feet have felt that right.
It started out as a joke gone wrong,
But it turned into our favorite song.
Now every year, when the box appears,
We’re laughin’ louder through the years.
It’s the gift that keeps on playin’, just like you said it would,
It’s out of tune, it’s cheesy, and misunderstood.
But it fills the house with the best kind of cheer,
‘Cause bad gifts make the best memories each year.
Yeah, it’s the gift that keeps on playin’,
And man, it feels that good.
We don’t need fancy or store-bought fame,
Just a little laugh to spark the flame.
That fish, that sweater, that song on repeat,
Turns our chaos into something sweet.
