It's Christmas eve and I'm eating a banana
And I've already practiced a little piana
And I've got to get my Real Book back
From a kid who wears a red bandana (true story!)
I spent two hours searching for it
Before it came to mind
That I had loaned it out to him
Because I am just so kind
But I got a bunch of stuff that I don't need
And it takes up space and makes me crazy
And I can't find what it is I'm looking for
The frustration is a great excuse to be lazy
But still I need that Real Book
I'll just have to order another one
In the meantime I'm playing Jingle Bells
In all twelve keys just for fun
