LYRICS:
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Folks with six-figure salaries
Are shopping in galleries
With a gift card paid by Tom in Ohio
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Roadsters all around
And while Tom can't afford a car
He'll buy part of one for John
Cuz somehow that's allowed
Well a black Model X and a tax credit check
Is the wish of Connor and Ken
And a dark Model 3 that is partially free
Is the hope of Bobby and Ben
While Tommy takes the bus and eats Vienna sausages
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Hear those sleigh bells ring
But what else could you expect
With a tax code so complex?
Ensuring just these things?
Yes a car with aplomb that's, in part, paid by Tom
Is the wish of Victor and Von
A sedan that can drive and takes years to arrive
Is the hope of Lenny and Lon
While Tommy pinches pennies never flushing number one
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the credits end
But the funniest sight to see's
When typical for DC
They're renewed again
Everything's renewed again
