From the recording Christmas Found Me
Lyrics
[Spoken]
Permission to explain myself
[Verse 1]
There’s an indoor forest living in our den
Pine smell, sparkle, sticks again
One silver snake was begging for a pick
I tugged two inches--I thought it was a stick
[Pre-Chorus]
I trained all year, I swear I did
But joy got loud like a snowstorm lid
[Chorus]
This is my tinsel confession
I thought it was a stick, not a lesson
Those shiny balls looked ready for fetch
I tapped one gently--okay, I made a mess
If happy is a holiday crime
Ribbon me up, I’ll do the time
I was only trying to help, honest
This is my tinsel confession
[Verse 2]
Presents stacked three days to go
Calendar said wait--my nose said no
I pre-unwrapped with precision and grit
Helped the paper breathe a little bit
[Pre-Chorus]
Sat when told, but here’s the glitch
My tail kept drumming like a switch
[Bridge]
Tail malfunction, tree said “whoa”
Wobble to wobble, gentle snow
Everything froze for a heartbeat click
Then you laughed and took a pic
[Verse 3]
Cocoa steam, you scratched my chin
Said, you’re our chaos--come on in
You hang one bulb on my collar ring
Best decoration is the joy you bring
[Chorus]
This is my tinsel confession
I thought it was a stick, not a lesson
Those shiny balls looked ready for fetch
I tapped one gently--okay, I made a mess
If happy is a holiday crime
Ribbon me up, I’ll do the time
Home forgives and hugs are the blessing
Signed with a paw--my tinsel confession
