[Verse 1]
Tinsel on the crash cart, mistletoe by the sink,
Patients rolling in faster than I can blink.
Santa's on a stretcher, says he slipped on the ice,
But his breath smells like bourbon and holiday spice.
[Prechorus]
Oh, Silent Night? Not here tonight,
The waiting room’s a holiday fight.
[Chorus]
It’s Christmas in the ER, where the lights don’t twinkle,
We’re stitching up folks from a barroom wrinkle.
Eggnog meets elbows, mistletoe gone wrong,
It's a 12-hour shift and the night's still long.
Merry Christmas to me, I’m where no one wants to be.
[Verse 2]
Frosty got frostbite, Rudolph’s got a sprain,
Mrs. Claus is yelling about insurance claims.
A guy in a Santa suit ate too much ham,
Now he’s demanding a CAT scan, ma’am.
[Prechorus]
Oh, Deck the Halls? Not in these walls,
The only bells are the trauma calls.
[Chorus]
It’s Christmas in the ER, where the cheer is fleeting,
X-rays and IVs, not carols or greeting.
Candy cane stitches and a snowman’s sneeze,
The holiday spirit’s on unpaid leave.
Merry Christmas to me, in this fluorescent tree.
