lyrics

I drove through the slow falling snow
And I went to the movies alone
I lit a joint in the aisle
There was no one around to yell fire
And yearly this theater’s my home
As I watch the screen through the smoke
Cause it’s rough being Jewish on Christmas
Except at the movies alone

I walked through the slow falling snow
Toward the lights that so hazily glowed
With the smell of Chinese food in my nose
It smelled like the green grass of home
And yearly I eat all alone
But I don't let it get to me none
Cause it’s not rough being Jewish on Christmas
Unless the Chinese spot is closed

I looked out o’er the endless bright white
Toward the fields warmed with blankets of light
And the snow gave me cause for to think
Maybe I had had too much to drink

At the piano, a chorus of friends
Boughs of holly, along the halls decked
We sang “it’s rough being Jewish on Christmas”
As Irving Berlin cashed the royalty checks!
