Arrogant Worms The The Same Christmas Cake Lyrics

The Same Christmas Cake Lyrics

Christmas makes me realize how greatly things do change

 Friends lose touch, people age, and family moves away

 But it is what had stayed the same that gives me the most tears

 For i've had the same christmas cake for almost thirty years

 

 Granny made it back in sixty-eight and gave it to my mom

 Who gave it to her uncle who gave it to her son

 Who then gave it to me and that is where it stuck

 For i was only three months old and clearly out of luck

 

 Each christmas of my childhood that fruit-brick would return

 My mom would place it on a plate and tell me i must learn

 That it is rude to get a gift and not put it to use

 And every year i'd take a bite and chip another tooth

 

 After fifteen years of misery i'd had all i could take (all i could take)

 That summer i went camping and dropped it in the lake (in the lake)

 I thought that i was rid of it, but on christmas eve (christmas eve)

 There it was "from santa claus" under the christmas tree (christmas
tree)

 

 Each year i'd try to lose it but it would just return

 So i cried out "oh why have i been given such a burden?"

 A voice replied, "it's not a curse, but the greatest gift"

 "for when all else abandons you, you will still have it."

 

 For all of man's creations slowly waste away

 Relationships do crumble and buildings do decay

 The pyramids and stonehenge slowly disappear

 But if they were made of christmas cake they'd last a million years
