Gridlock Christmas by The Hollytones Lyrics

[Intro]
Christmas Eve at the office, tying up loose ends
Before going home to my family, my hearth and a few friends
Jumped on the freeway, gee, what a mistake
I've sat here for hours, how long will this take?
("Mama, when's daddy gonna get home?")

[Chorus]
I'm having Gridlock Christmas
With people I don't even know
Though friends and family can't be here
We'll have good old Christmas cheer (Gridlock Christmas)
And carols on the car radio

[Verse 1]
Someone's built a bonfire in the fast lane
Folks gathering 'round its cheery amber light
They're all stranded just like me, oh, what a place to be
Huddled on the freeway, singing Silent Night (Silent Night)

[Chorus]
I'm having Gridlock Christmas (Gridlock Christmas)
With people I don't even know
Though friends and family can' be here
We'll have good old Christmas cheer (Gridlock Christmas)
And carols on the car radio
[Verse 2]
People opening car trunks filled with boxes
Presents bright and shiny from the mall
Exchanging gifts, exchanging names
You know, it's kind of strange
We're having a dandy Christmas after all (dandy Christmas)

[Chorus]
I'm having Gridlock Christmas (Gridlock Christmas)
With people I don't even know
Though friends and family can't be here
We'll have good old Christmas cheer (Gridlock Christmas)
And carols on the car radio

[Interlude]
"That semi over there is filled with groceries"
"And that flatbed's loaded down with Christmas trees"
"And our motor-home has an oven for the turkey"
"Looks like we've got everything we need!"
You all know the words now
So the next time it comes around, I want everybody to sing, okay?

[Chorus]
I'm having Gridlock Christmas
That's very good!
With people I don't even know
You over there in the Edsel, SING OUT!
Though friends and family can't be here
Oh yes, I LOVE it!!
We'll have good old Christmas cheer (SING!!)
And carols on the car radio
And carols on the car radio!
Gridlock Christmas
