Another Holiday

from A Skullful Of Happy by Hans Rickheit

/

lyrics

Now comes the dreaded season
They home in like a beacon
They loiter with no reason
And there's no sign they'll go away

They empty out my pantries
They shriek their loudest shanties
They suckle like sea lampreys
And they will never go away

And it appears they're here to stay
They linger on day after day
It's just another holiday

The cherished heirloom pieces
Are being smeared with feces
The dead-eyed stony faces
Betray no plans to go away

And all the family pictures
They're smashing with their hammers
The antiquated fixtures
Are swiftly being hauled away

And it appears they're here to stay
Crushing all signs to keep away
It's just another holiday

The smell of boiling urine
Engulfs the habitation
The sordid dissipations
Continue through the break of day

They cry "La dolce vita!"
And set the pets on fire
They form a tuneless choir
And chant they'll never go away

Yes, be resigned they're here to stay
They linger on day after day
It's just another holiday
