Went to the holiday store I went to battle the lines I went to buy mistletoe but leaves i could not find There was plastic all around me Nothing my heart could feel So I dropped my pants threw up my arms Said at least what you see is real While walking down the street I found a family of birds Making their way through the snow to a shop filled with herbs And the woman behind the counter She smiled and she twinkled her nose And pointed to the leaves up above my head Then flipped the open sign to closed [CHORUS] Ho, ho mistletoe Ho, ho yourself You always work when you;re from the vine And not packaged on a shelf Your magic always works wonders From the earth you do grow Whenever I need just a little bit of help To the mistletoe I go Some revelers were having a party And I thought she might be there I ran to my closet tripped over my boot To see what I could wear Black shoes and a black tie A white shirt with long sleeves And in its pocket you best be sure That I filled it up with leaves [CHORUS] I arrived to party early I arrived and brought my leaves Hung them up in a secret spot Where she and I could meet But she never showed up And sure I almost cried But another girl did and she’s pretty too So I think it’s gonna be alright [CHORUS]
