Bill Anderson - Waffle House Christmas

Mama burned the turkey and daddy set the tree on fire
The dogs started barking, kids started crying
Like an out-of-tune Christmas choir
Sister grabbed the baby, Becky grabbed Bubba
And Bubba grabbed a six-pack of beer
We headed for the motel, I guess Norman Rockwell
Won't be paintin' us this year

It's gonna be a good old fashioned Waffle House Christmas
Twenty-seven brand new friends all having dinner with us
Joining our hands, bowing our heads
Over grits & eggs and raisin bread
Hash browns covered and smothered
Somebody please pass the butter
Susie don't hit your brother, don't sass your mother
Waffle House Christmas

Rachel said she heard reindeer on the restaurant roof
Billy can't eat yet for staring at the brunette over in the corner booth
He wants to meet her something awful, won't even touch his waffle
He wants her attention I know
Wants to put her in his stockin', go jingle bell rockin'
Underneath the mistletoe

Ain't nothing like a good old fashioned Waffle House Christmas
Twenty-seven brand new friends all having dinner with us
Joining our hands, bowing our heads
Over grits & eggs and raisin bread
Hash browns covered and smothered
Somebody please pass the butter
Susie don't hit your brother, don't sass your mother
Waffle House Christmas

Mama kinda likes it cause she don't have to do the dishes
It looks like we might have started
A brand new holiday tradition, accidentally

Nothing like a good old fashioned Waffle House Christmas
Twenty-seven brand new friends all having dinner with us
Joining our hands, bowing our heads
Over grits & eggs and raisin bread
Hash browns covered and smothered
Somebody please pass the butter
Susie don't hit your brother, don't sass your mother
Waffle House Christmas

Everybody's in good cheer
Makin' it perfectly clear
This was a good idea
See you back next year
Waffle House Christmas

Everybody knows they never close, 247, 365
Without them how would we ever survive
Thank God for a Waffle House Christmas
