It's Christmas Time
Joey Rory Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's Christmas time again this year
Can't believe it's already here
Ain't bought a single thing, o dear
I'm so far behind
I like to get my shopping done before
The lines get long in all the stores
I'll spend more than we can afford
But hey it's Christmas time

It's Christmas time again you see
Lets go pick out the perfect tree
Is it leaning left or is it just me
Ah, honey looks just fine
We'll hang the tinsel, string the lights
These ornaments will take all night
It's a lot of work but that's alright
It's Christmas time.

We'll eat too much and then we'll swear again
That come New Year, we're gettin in
The best shape that we've ever been
But we know we're lying
So pass the pie and one more roll
And pass me that remote control
Ah, lookey' here, I love this show
It's Christmas time

It's Christmas time, who's at the door
I'm sure there's room for 7 more
We'll make some pallets on the floor
That'll be just fine
The turkeys done, pull up a chair
Grab a hand, lets say a prayer
For all those soldiers over there
You know it's Christmas time

We'll wrap the gifts in green and red
You kids get back up in your bed
For Santa wont come in his sled
He'll just fly right by
Then we'll wake up in an hour or two
To mommy look, this ones for you
Oh I love it hun, I really do
It's Christmas time

It's Christmas time again, you know
It hit me just an hour ago
It ain't about mistletoe
Lets keep that in mind
It's about the star that led the way
The baby child born that day




It's cause of him, we all say
It's Christmas time

Overall Meaning

Joey + Rory's "It's Christmas Time" is a warm holiday tune that looks at the festive season with a delightful touch of humor and a simple understanding of what Christmas really is. The song starts off with the singer reflecting on how quickly the year has come to an end, and how unprepared they are for the holiday shopping. She then moves on to describe how she and her partner will deck their halls with boughs of holly, all while grinning along the way. There's turkey, laughter, and even a reference to "magical" Santa Claus. However, towards the end, the song changes from the hilarity of the season to a message that is much more heartfelt. The lyrics remind us to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, who humbly appeared on earth to lead us in the right direction.


What stands out is the captivating way the song structures together the various themes of Christmas so that by the end, listeners are reminded that in the bustle of gift-giving, tree-trimming, and food feasting, the real significance of Christmas sometimes gets forgotten. The song reminds us that Christmas is more about the narrative of Jesus' birth as a reminder of why we celebrate at all. Joey + Rory is known for its emotional, stripped-down sound and these thoughtful lyrics help to quell the usual noise and distraction of the holiday season.

<< Mistletoe and Wine >>

It’s Christmas time, just you and I.
Please don’t scream, cos I would make it real slow.
It can’t be colder than the snow, cos that’s all I know.

It’s Christmas time.
A time best for blasphemy and worst rift.
Where everyone are dying out of time.
Plights of saints lining up to die.
All the Holy Ghost of Hollywood singing their chimes.

Oh it’s Christmas time, best time of rift and chimes.
Chimes of doom to sadden the finest hours.
All in a matter of time,
we all here to find out there’s no way out,
so here let me help you on the way out.

Oh it’s Christmas time.
Best time ever to the blood river.
To die and dancing like the best devil ever alive.
All the spirit and sprites, come out and cry.

Crisis is the best synonym to Christ.
Best time of my life, after 45 years being blind.
My soul has opened up and it’s full of heart.
I painted the sun dark, and painted the moon bright.
Best time ever as I could hear and write.

Hanging from the trees, crying their lungs out.
Best time of the year to frighten it all out.

Been long 45 years to find out the rhymes.
All the nuclear blast built up enough for hellmas time.

And best of all hells, why can’t you all just fucking die?

Here the best wine to the dying.
How could wine be the saint spirit of your mind?
Just like the good and bad side of the moon.
I am here just to side with you, and die with you.

Oh it’s Christmas time.
I am here to forgive you, here is the route all the way down.
I am happy, cos it’s the only time that ... ...
I am down to earth.

The earth has opened up.
Satan rising on a single dime.
I would bathe in your blood, dine on your tongue.
Wearing your ears for ear rings,
and Amen your sins.
Bearing your cross and smoking your soul off your skull.

Oh Lord, it’s Christmas time.
All the anus vanishing on all the life forms.
Satan and God kneeling before me.
The Bible needed a new name.
