Lyrics:
Christmas on the 13th of December
the flights are cheaper and the family can get away
We won't buy winter boots until the sales are on
so we walk in the slush and the crowded subway
It's christmas time in Old New York
and all the windows are bright and warm
Grandma's washed and ironed her $20 bills…
TV specials every year,
will never change, and we don't care
Jimmy Stuart makes us cry
reminds us all, it's a wonderful life
Christmas time in Toronto
we'll send in the army to clean up the snow
There won't be another one 'til next year
Christmas on the…
Thirteenth of December
Christmas on the…
Thirteenth of whenever,
You come home
Christmas on the 13th of December,
empty boxes wrapped under a plastic tree
from last year i hope that you remember
that we said no gifts 'cause getting together's free
What appears to be the perfect scene
is good enough for you and me
Tune into the channel where the fire burns...
You'll come home
You'll come home
Christmas on the thirteenth of December
the flights are cheaper and the family can get away
when there's no more need for gifts or treasures
then in that quiet moment, we will stay
Christmas on the…
Thirteenth of December
Christmas on the…
Thirteenth of whenever,
You come home
You come home
You'll come home...

Sharp, smart lyrics set to ’60s rock melodies, the latest from Daily Worker is the sound of yesterday with a contemporary edge. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 6, 2023
This batch of quarantine recordings by Texas musician Daily Worker recalls the classic lo-fi days of GBV, with hissy sonics and huge hooks. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 14, 2020
