Yeah, we all know it's comin'   Every year Thanksgivin' Day   We're gonna wish we hadn't   But we all come over anyway      And it's nice to see the family   And Lord, her cookin's great   But when she starts a hummin' on 'Jingle Bells'   We know there ain't no escape      'Cause mama's gettin' ready for Christmas   And you better stay out of her way   She's got a million lights, a ton of decorations   And they gotta go up today      Yeah, there ain't no doubt when they're all pulled out   She's gonna have a job for you   Mama's gettin' ready for Christmas   So you better get ready too      Now she's the queen of redneck Christmas   At least that's what my daddy thinks   While he's climbin' up the ladder with an eight foot Santa   That laughs and waves and blinks      Last year my brother Bill almost got killed   Wirin' up that artificial tree   And when I get done with these stupid plastic reindeer   That's the last that woman's gonna see of me, I bet you that      Mama's gettin' ready for Christmas   And you better stay out of her way   She's got a million lights, a ton of decorations   And they gotta go up today      Now there ain't no doubt when they're all pulled out   She's gonna have a job for you   Mama's gettin' ready for Christmas   So you better get ready too      Oh, the front yard's gonna look like Las Vegas   And folks will come from near and far   'Cause everybody knows when she throws that switch   Christmas is about to start      Yeah, mama's gettin' ready for Christmas   And you better stay out of her way   She's got a million lights, a ton of decorations   And they gotta go up today      Now there ain't no doubt when they're all pulled out   She's gonna have a job for you   Yeah, mama's gettin' ready for Christmas   So you better get ready too      I said my mama's gettin' ready for Christmas   Merry Christmas everybody   So you better get ready too
