A Johnny Ace Christmas Lyrics - Singles - Squirrel Nut Zippers

It's Christmas Eve, people 

But someone's got to go 

It's Christmas Eve, people 

But someone's got to go 

I never thought he'd have the nerve 

But that just shows you what I know 

He had a sweet and lonely voice 

How I wish that he had stayed 

He had a sweet and lonely voice 

How I wish that he had stayed 

But the dealer dealt the cards 

And the ace has done been played 

He used to talk about forever 

Forever and a day 

But when you get down to it 

Things just don't work out that way 

Merry Christmas Johnny 

Though you're leaving now 

The anticipation's better 

Than the real thing anyhow
