Christmas at Grandma's
Alex Wilson
Description
A high-energy, tongue-in-cheek Christmas anthem blending pop, country, and trap elements. "Christmas at Grandma's" paints a chaotic yet loving picture of a family holiday gathering. Think sleigh bells meet 808s, acoustic guitar jams with a trap beat, and grandma spiking the eggnog. The song features modern pop vocals with harmonies, gang vocals for hype, talk-box guitar melodies, and even pitched possum sounds for quirky texture. A guaranteed earworm for anyone who's ever experienced a slightly dysfunctional, utterly memorable family Christmas.
Lyrics
Intro: (Na na na na na na na) (Na na na na na na na) Verse 1: Deck the halls with drama, fa-la-la-la-la Grandma spiked the eggnog with bourbon from her bra Tree's held up with duct tape, ornaments are broke Half the family's divorced but everybody's here (hey!) And there's something in the ceiling going scratch-scratch-scratch Pretty sure that's a possum but we're not gonna ask Pre-Chorus: 'Cause when you're this messed up You gotta laugh it off When you're this messed up You know that love's enough Chorus: It's Christmas (Christmas!) At Grandma's (Grandma's!) Where the crazy comes alive It's Christmas (Christmas!) At Grandma's (Grandma's!) Thank God we all survived We got a possum in the attic Whiskey in the pie But somehow it's magic Every single time It's Christmas at Grandma's (Na na na na na na na) Christmas at Grandma's (Na na na na na na na) Verse 2: Photo by the fireplace, everybody "cheese!" Someone's ex just showed up, someone's calling the police Presents from the dollar store wrapped in last year's bags Grandma's got her teeth out singing Cardi B (okurrr!) That possum's getting bold now, he's eyeing up the ham Welcome to our Christmas, Instagram can't understand Pre-Chorus: 'Cause when you're this messed up You gotta laugh it off When you're this messed up You know that love's enough Chorus: It's Christmas (Christmas!) At Grandma's (Grandma's!) Where the crazy comes alive It's Christmas (Christmas!) At Grandma's (Grandma's!) Thank God we all survived We got a possum in the attic Whiskey in the pie But somehow it's magic Every single time It's Christmas at Grandma's (Na na na na na na na) Christmas at Grandma's (Na na na na na na na) Bridge: O come all ye ratchet Joyful and triumphant O come ye, o come ye To Grandma's house (Hey! Hey! Hey!) We're broke but we're golden Divorced but we're chosen O come let us annoy them O come let us destroy them O come let us enjoy this Christmas at Grandma's! Final Chorus: It's Christmas (Christmas!) At Grandma's (Grandma's!) Where the crazy comes alive It's Christmas (Christmas!) At Grandma's (Grandma's!) Thank God we all survived We got a possum in the attic Whiskey in the pie But somehow it's magic Every single time It's Christmas at Grandma's! Outro: (Na na na na na na na) - Possum in the house! (Na na na na na na na) - Whiskey in the house! (Na na na na na na na) - Grandma's in the house! (Na na na na na na na) - Christmas!
