Music from Shut Up, It's Christmas: A Musical Short Story. Follow Ethan and Lucy across four Christmases as they come to terms with their relationship and what Christmas really means to them.
Read it hereThe very moment that you walked into the party
I could tell that there was something on your mind
There's impending doom, but read the room
I don't want to start this
Breaking up just doesn't fit the party vibe
So shut up, it's Christmas
This is no time to break my heart
Then shut up, it's Christmas
Let's go back to the start
I would rather see the lights on the tree
Than watch us come to an end
So shut up, it's Christmas time again
I tried to tell you I was done with your surprises
You didn't listen and now look at where we are
Again let down, I'm Charlie Brown landing on my back
I want to run away but you blocked in my car
So shut up, it's Christmas
This is not time to take a stand
Oh shut up, it's Christmas
I'll give in to your demands
Oh, if we're gonna make a huge mistake
Let's wait until next year
So shut up, it's Christmas time in here
It's getting awkward, my grandma's staring
Your tone is uglier than these sweaters we're all wearing
So I'm imperfect, well so are you
If you ruin Christmas then I don't know what I'll do
So shut up, it's Christmas
It's a time for peace and love
So shut up, it's Christmas
Wait 'til tomorrow and that's enough
Oh, I would rather eat a Christmas treat
Than words I'm about to say
So shut up, it's Christmas time
Yeah shut up, it's Christmas time
Oh shut up, it's Christmas time today
Waking up on a winter morning
Throw the window open wide
All that's blue about this Christmas
Is the color of the sky
We've got lights and mistletoe
And artificial trees
But there's no such thing as a white Christmas
When it's 75 degrees
Arizona holiday
The sun is shining upon the dunes
Arizona holiday
Let's make a snowman by stacking citrus fruit
Oh, Arizona holiday
Wintertime can be so pretty
Somewhere far away from here
But the weather's fine, so this is really
The most wonderful time of the year
Swap the reindeer and the snow
For scorpions and sun
It looks just like the North Pole
After a nuclear explosion
Arizona holiday
Wrap your cactus in Christmas lights
Arizona holiday
So wear your shorts outside on Christmas night
Oh, Arizona holiday
The orange and palm trees sway
In the desert wind and rain
Pigeons fly and rabbits play
Yeah, it's Christmas time again
Fa la la la la
La la la la la la
Fa la la la la
La la la la la la
Oh, Arizona holiday
See the magic in front of you
Arizona holiday
Hear the coyotes howl to the Christmas moon
Oh, Arizona holiday
Arizona holiday today
Fa la la la la
La la la la la la
You know Hermie, you know Buddy,
You know that guy up on the shelf
But let me introduce you to
A very special elf
Bosco the elf with laser eyes
Couldn’t stare at anyone or they would die
So all the other elves were not big fans
They didn’t let him help make toys
Didn’t get to bring gifts to all the girls and boys
So he just closed his eyes dreamed up Christmas plans
So when the aliens attacked on Christmas Eve
Santa said, “Friends, we’re all in deep”
Until he looked at Bosco and realized
He could save the whole North Pole with his laser eyes
He saved the elves from that strange attack
So they made him special glasses like Cyclops has
Now he protects your presents every Christmas Eve night
Good old Bosco the super elf with laser eyes
Dear Mr. Santa, it's been quite a year
And now I'm all by myself as Christmas day comes near
I've tried to be patient, waiting for life to restart
But I'm still alone and I'm about to come apart
I've barely seen family, I haven't seen friends
I stare at a screen all day and wait for this to end
And though I'm sure you've made your lists, naughty and nice
I hope you will check them twice
So Santa don't forget me, don't leave me in desolation
All these lights don't look so bright when I'm here without you
I've been so lonely this year, but now I hope you will be here
Let's reunite for one more night
I don't go shopping, I don't go to work
I don't see the doctor, I don't even go to church
I don't even need a single gift under my tree
But I need you here with me
So Santa don't forget me, please don't pass me by this Christmas
If you know my heart and mind, you know that I'll be true
I've been so lonely this year, so now I hope you will be here
It's not the same since you went away
I'll give up all my favorite sins
Please tell me I've got time to change your mind
This is my only Christmas wish
Come save me from the worst year of my life
Dear Mr. Santa, we've had quite a year
We've had quite a year
I'm writing this letter to remind you that I'm here
Santa don't forget me, please don't pass me by this Christmas
And I hope you believe in me like I believe in you
I've been so lonely this year, now I hope you will be here
To give me a chance, just one more chance
And Santa please forgive me, even though I don't deserve it
I can be a better man, this time I'll follow through
I've been so naughty this year, and now I'm hoping you'll be here
I hope you don't, please say you won't, forget me
I'm freezing, I'm drowning
In a sea of Christmas spirit
I see it, I brave it
But somehow I just can't feel it
When you were by my side
The world seemed so full of cheer
Now I can't stand this time of year
I miss you at Christmas
I wish you were mine
I miss you at Christmas
Why wouldn't I?
These past years I've given my best shot
But I still wonder
If I was less headstrong
Would our love have still gone under?
That's all behind us now
Can't be undone, that's how things go
But I still wanted you to know
I miss you at Christmas
I wish you were still mine
I miss you at Christmas
Why wouldn't I?
Only one thing left to say
I'm sorry for what I said
It keeps replaying in my head
There is so much I did wrong
I hope you're happy where you are
But you deserve to know I'm sorry
This is your Christmas gift
You weren't wrong, I wasn't right
Have a good life, so long, goodnight
I miss you at Christmas
I wish you were mine
I miss you at Christmas
Why wouldn't I?
