Merry Belated Christmas
words and music by Ian Bonds & Ben Stahl

Christmastime has come and gone
I didn't give you a Christmas song
but my friends, it's not too late
we can still celebrate...

While your family undecks its halls
Everything is half price at the mall.
And I'll just say my cards got lost in the mail

Since my neighbors threw out their tree
I picked it up, now it belongs to me
And the popcorn garland really ain't all that stale

Merry Belated Christmas
It was just that time of year
We just learned that the egg nog turned
So have a cup of second hand cheer!
Better late than never, that always rings true
So Merry Belated Christmas to you.

Instead of returning my unwanted gifts
I'll give 'em to the folks that are on my lists
Just hope I don't give you what you gave me

I didn't get my picture on Santa's lap
but a little Photoshop will take care of that!
And won't folks be surprised to see Emma Stone on my knee (thanks Kyle)

Merry Belated Christmas
I'm just a little late this year
Would have said it sooner but I heard a rumor
that the world might not be here!
Better late than never, that always rings true
So Merry Belated Christmas to you.

Santa's Workshop is closed (Santa's Workshop's closed)
There's no more snow in Vermont (So just go to Maine)
But I can still go (So why don't you go)
And tell the Easter Bunny what I (you) want!

The carolers are returning to the streets...
(Merry Belated Christmas!)
...but now they're just singing "Trick or Treat"
(Merry Belated Christmas!)
It's really not that hard to make this mistake...
(Merry Belated Christmas!)
...but no one knows the age of this fruitcake!

Merry Belated Christmas
I'm just a little late this year
But if I sing this song for a little longer
Santa will reappear!
Better late than never, that always rings true
So Merry Belated Christmas to you!
