[00:00.00]I Bought You A Plastic Star For Your Aluminum Tree - Michael Franks
[00:21.81]It gets pretty cold here at night
[00:25.16]Down to sixty degrees
[00:32.51]There's angel hair up in the palm trees
[00:36.96]It sure looks like Christmas to me
[00:41.98]But Santa's been grounded
[00:44.14]His reindeer came down with TV
[00:51.59]So I bought you a plastic star for your aluminum tree
[01:02.70]Father Christmas ain't been seen in years down at
[01:07.73]Sak's Fifth or Macy's maybe try Sears'
[01:12.73]Spend all ye faithful with all your might
[01:16.52]Gonna have ten years of Silent Night
[01:21.59]Thought I'd make an impression
[01:24.25]Before the depression hit me
[01:31.78]So I bought you a plastic star for your aluminum tree
[02:21.62]We barely recover from pumpkins and Thanksgiving time
[02:31.79]When those acrylic-bearded Santas start clinging at Sunset and Vine
[02:41.08]That snowflake in hell has more chance to stay mellow than me
[02:50.86]So I bought you a plastic star for your aluminum tree
[03:02.06]Easy credit may not cure your ills
[03:06.17]Unless your address is in Beverly Hills
[03:11.85]Spend all ye faithful with all your might
[03:15.64]Gonna have ten years of Silent Night
[03:20.73]Thought I'd make an impression before
[03:24.71]The depression hit me
[03:30.77]So I bought you a plastic star for your aluminum
[03:36.29]Bought you a plastic star for your aluminum
[03:41.28]Bought you a plastic star for your aluminum tree
[04:03.28]If you own stock then sell for half an ounce of Chanel
[04:08.37]It's Christmas
[04:13.33]You better hit Fort Knox just to buy ties and socks
[04:18.33]It's Christmas
[04:22.84]Cuss at the shock then bus over to Toys-R-Us
[04:28.32]It's Christmas
