Christmas 78's - I Yust Go Nuts At Christmas - Yogi Yorgesson

Oh, I yust go nuts at Christmas
On that yolly holiday
Ill go in the red like a knucklehead
Cuz I'll squander all my pay.

Oh, I yust go nuts at Christmas
Shopping sure drives me berserk
On the day before, I rush in a store
Like a pure bewildered yerk.

I look at nightgowns for my wife
Those black ones trimmed in red
But I wont know her size and so
She'll get a carpet sweeper instead.

Oh I yust go nuts at Christmas
When each kid hangs up his sock
It's a time for kids to flip their lids
While their papa goes in hock.

On the night before Christmas
It's still in the house
My family is sleeping
So I'm quiet like a mouse.

I look at my watch and midnight is near
I think I'll sneak off for a cold glass of beer
Down at the corner the crowd is so merry
I end up by drinking about 12 Tom & Yerry

I get to bed late and gee whiz how I'm sleeping
When on to my bed those darn kids they come leaping
They sit on my face and they yump on my belly
And I'm quivering all over like a bowl full of yelly.

They scream Merry Christmas, and my poor wife and me
We stumble downstairs and she lights up the tree
My head is exploding, my mouth tastes like a pickle
I step on a skate and fall on a tricycle.

Yust before Christmas dinner I relax to a point
Then relatives start swarming all over the yoint
On Christmas I hug and I kiss my wife's mother
The rest of the year we don't speak to each other.

After dinner my Aunt and my wife's Uncle Louie
Get into an argument; they're both awful screwy
Then all my wife's family say Louie is right
And my goofy relations, they yoin in the fight.

Back in the corner the radio is playing
And over the racket Gabriel Heater is saying
"Peace on earth everybody and good will toward men"
And yust at that moment someone slugs Uncle Ben.

They all run outside whooping so the neighbors will hear
Oh, I'm so glad Merry Christmas comes yust once a year.

Oh, I yust go nuts at Christmas
But I still have lots of fun
Yust the same as you, I enyoy it too

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Had this record when I was a kid--I'm now 69! Do not know what happened to the record. Thank heaven for Google!!!

[althazarr]

Glad you found my channel. I hope you'll find many more classic records here to enjoy. I guess Google had a little bit to do with it, but they didn't post it. :-)

[PHILLYCHEESESTEAK26]

Enjoyed this one back in the 60's every Christmas when I was a young lad. I have not heard it on the radio (Cleveland, Ohio) in over 25 years.  I also found Augie Rios with his 1958 hit, Jim Backus with delicious, and some old Mitch Miller favorites here on you tube. These oldies are buried in the past. Thank you althazarr for coming through with Yogi Yorgesson.

[althazarr]

Thank you for tuning in to my channel! I'm glad I had this one to share with you. I'm definitely trying to post all these great oldies so they don't get "buried" into obscurity.

[kornbelt]

My favorite Christmas song since I was a little kid (a long time ago)

[althazarr]

I'm glad I had it to share with you. Thanks for tuning in!

[Superluminal100]

Why can't radio stations play more songs like this at Christmas. I'm so tired of hearing 5 differant versions of jingle bells every hour.

[paulglor]

Thumbs up if Seth MacFarlane sent you here

[scruffy281]

Oh thanks for uploading this song!! Brings back so many good memories!! : )

[jjjjentges]

I have the 45RPM version of this. I put it in my 1973 Rowe AMI JukeBox every year at Christmas.

[gumdokim]

He sent me here too haha

[wickedmountain]

very cool I knew if anybody had cool old christmas songs up it would be the mighty althazarr :D

[Kimberly Stonehouse]

Reminds me of being at my Grandparent's at Christmas eve every year, my Grandfather was Swedish

[MF760]

This song brings back memories of listening to this song with my mother

[Max Planck]

Then Ist time I heard it, I thought it was by a Polish-American artist, as it sounded just like what I used to listen to on Polish-themed radio stations from Buffalo, NY. Thanks for making it available; the presentation with the turntable makes it all the more authentic.

[Lisa Coryell]

I remember dancing to this with my Uncle Bob (R.I.P). One year, we got carried away, and danced out the patio door, and through the nieghboor's yards on both sides of my Mom's house. It will always be a great memory for me!

[Tayl D]

Listen to this every year! Reminds me of going to get our Christmas tree :) I'm only 18 and my parents are in their 40's but somehow they know about this song :)
