text: I went so numb on Christmas day
  I couldnt feel my hands or feet
  I shouldnt have come
  She made me pay
  For gleaming with Donald down her street
  She put blame on him
  And shame on me
  She made it all seem so tawdry and cheap
  Oh, lets be nice, Mama, open up your gifts
  You know, happiness is the best facelift
  I mean, after all, she introduced us
  Oh, but she regrets that now
  Shacked up downtown
  Making love without a license
  Same old sacred cow
  She said, Did you come home to disgrace us?
  I said, Why is this joy not allowed?
  For Gods sake, Im middle-aged, Mama
  And time moves swift
  And you know happiness is the best facelift
  Oh, love takes so much courage
  Love takes so much shit
  He said Youve seen too many movies, Joni
  She said Snap out of it!
  Oh, the cold winds blew at our room with a view
  All helpful and hopeful and candlelit
  We kissed the angels and the moon eclipsed
  You know, Happiness is the best facelift
  We pushed the bed up to the window
  To see the Christmas lights
  On the east bank across the steaming river
  Between the bridges lit up Paris-like
  This river has run through both our lives
  Between these banks of our continuing delights
  Bless us, dont let us lose the drift
  You know, Happiness is the best facelift
