Please Go Home for Christmas

Cars will be drivin’ a long long ways

As students go home for the holidays

Mama’s good food, those backhome friends

Fido and Tiger jumping on me again

Four months of laundry in my trunk

No stupid roommate in the top bunk

Yeah, fast internet (unfiltered)

Real cable TV

And a real decorated Christmas tree

No room inspections or RD directions

Curfew’s a thing of the past

And though my bedroom became the store room

And I know the hot water don’t last

So tell mommy and my dad

I’m not in high school, I’ve grown up a tad

Just let me sleep in, please cut me some slack

And don’t complain when I grab the midnight snack

Ooh, bring me some cookies, and ten feet of snow

And let me sit and watch the fireplace glow
