(CAPO: 2nd FRET)
VERSE 1:
C G
I wake up Christmas morning
C G
Each year with fear and dread
C G
I’ve got no expectations
F C G
Of gifts worth leaving bed.

VERSE 2:
C G
Once while Christmas shopping
C G
I strayed from my wife’s side
C G
I saw this mounted singing fish
F C G
They called him Billy Bass.

VERSE 3:
C G
He lay there on the table
C G
When much to my surprise
C G
That santa-hatted little fish started singing
F C G
Turned and looked me in the eyes.

VERSE 4:
C G
I got a talking parrot
C G
A dancing Santa that raps.
C G
Even got the karaoke deer head
F C G
But still no Billy Bass.

VERSE 5:
C G
So wake me Christmas morning
C G
My disappointment will pass
C G
I got no expectations
F C G
I’ll get my Billy Bass.
