Waffle House Christmas Songtext
von Bill Anderson

Mama burned the turkey and daddy set the tree on fire.
The dog started barkin′, the kid's started cryin′
Like an out of tune Christmas choir.
Sister grabbed the baby, Becky grabbed Bubba,
And Bubba grabbed a six pack of beer.
We Headed for the motel,
I guess Norman Rockwell won't be paintin' us this year.

It′s gonna be a good old fashioned Waffle House Christmas.
Twenty seven brand new friends all havin′ dinner with us.
Joinin' our hands bowin′ our head
Over grits and eggs and raisin bread.
Hash browns covered and smothered, somebody please pass the butter.
Suzy don't hit your brother don′t sass your mother.
Waffle House Christmas.


Rachel said she heard reindeer on the restaurant roof.
Billy can't eat yet for starin′ at
The brunette over in the corner booth.
He want's to meet her somethin' awful won′t even touch his waffle.
He want′s her attention I know.
He wants to put her in his stockin' go
Jingle bell rockin′ underneath the misletoe.

Aint nothin' like a good old fashioned Waffle House Christmas.
Twenty seven brand new friends all havin′ dinner with us.
Joinin' our hands bowin′ our head
Over grits and eggs and raisin bread.
Hash browns covered and smothered,
Will somebody please pass the butter.
Suzy don't hit your brother, don't sass your mother.
Waffle House Christmas.

Ma kinda likes it cause she don′t have to do the dishes.
It looks like we might have started a
Brand new holiday tradition accidently.

Nothin′ like a good old fashioned Waffle House Christmas.
Twenty seven brand new friends all havin' dinner with us.
Joinin′ hands bowin' our head′s over grits and eggs and raisin bread.
Everybody's in good cheer.
We′re makin' it perfectly clear this was a good idea.
See you back next year.
Waffle House Christmas.


Everybody knows they never close.
Twenty four seven three sixty five.
Without 'em how would we ever survive?
Thank God for a Waffle House Christmas.
