Lyrics
There's a fruitcake for everybody There's a fruitcake for everyone There are B-sides to every story If you decide to have some fun Take a bite, it's all right There's some brandy and Star margarine to make it bright Take a bite, it's all right A little lovin' and some fruit to bake Life is a piece of cake It's the season for being happy But the reason is dead and gone If the reason for being happy Takes a backseat when the season's done Just take a bite (take a bite), it's all right (it's all right) Taste the taste that sent all mothers giggling in sheer delight Take a bite (take a bite), it's all right (it's all right) A little lovin' and some fruit to bake Life is a piece of cake Hey-hey-hey Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey Everybody, everywhere, people do you really care Christmas time has once again arrived Everybody, everywhere, people do you really care Christmas time has once again arrived Mistletoe and a little snow But we don't get it down in Fruitcake Heights Mistletoe and a little snow But we don't get it down in Fruitcake Heights (I know) Stars are falling down from heaven But it's nowhere near our town Miracles are falling down from heaven But it's nowhere near our town There's a fruitcake in everybody There's a fruitcake in everyone There are B-sides to every story And the story has just begun So take a bite (take a bite), it's all right (it's all right) Taste the taste that sent all mothers giggling in sheer delight Take a bite (take a bite), it's all right (it's all right) A little girl is ridin' all alone She ran away from home
