"What I Got (For Christmas)" - Sublime Parody

A song dealing with the harsh disappointment that is getting boxes of clothes as holiday gifts.

--LYRICS--
Early in the morning, risin' to the beep
Of my stupid little clock alarm and put slippers on my feet.
Got to find a shirt or, a robe to keep me warm.
Got to slink downstairs and see the cookies are all gone.
I see a bunch of presents, underneath the tree.
Better root around 'em and find ones addressed to me.

Well, this box is small, so let's see what I got
And save the big ones for last. Oh look, a pair of socks.
Oh, what's in the next one? A stupid sweater vest.
Never thought I'd want one, but it's kinda cool I guess.
Take a smaller package, open it up,
But it's just a card from my uncle, "Merry Christmas, with love."

That's all I got
That is within my reach
So I crawl around to the other side of the tree
And see if there's a pile of the stuff that I deserve.
In all these boxes, just pants n' shirts.

Clothes' what I got.
Though it ain't what I want,
It's still thoughtful that's what was bought.

Clothin', is what I got, and I'm okay with that.
Clothin', is what I got, and I'm okay with that.

(Like, seriously mom. You got me socks? Socks.
I have, like, 600 of those. 600 pairs of those.
That's like, 1,200, what the hell's wrong with you?)

I'm not mad; They're presents anyway.
At least they got 'em for me so I don't have to pay.
Although it could be exciting than socks -
A new computer, or a new Xbox.
Well, I'm not fighting, it's all the same.
A present is a present. It's the thought that counts, yeah.
(That's what I'll tell myself when I'm crying myself to sleep.)

(Like, seriously! If I wanted SOCKS, I would have told you.
Socks. I didn't ask for this, you know. NOBODY WANTS SOCKS!)

Clothin'. It's what I got. I said remember that.
Clothin', is what I got, and I'm okay with that.

Clothing, is what I got, and I'll remember that.
Clothin', is what you'll get next year from me.

(Screw you, Santa.)
