Every Christmas card I write
Has been stolen, has been stolen
Every Christmas card I write has been stolen
Every Christmas card I write has been stolen
Every Christmas card I write has been stolen
Has been stolen, has been stolen
Every Christmas card I write has been stolen
Stolen, has been stolen
Every Christmas card I write
On the little desk in the corner of my room
I find stolen the next day
I find stolen the next day
All of the Christmas cards I write
Become stolen the next day from my room
In my little desk in the corner of my room
Every Christmas card I write
Is stolen, is stolen
Every Christmas card I write
Been stolen
From the little desk in the corner of my room
It's been stolen
Every day, every Christmas card I write
Has been stolen from my desk
I don't know why
It's been stolen, it's been stolen
Stolen, stolen
Stolen, stolen
Stolen
Christmas Cards
They Might Be Giants' "Christmas Cards" stands as a quintessential example of the band's unique fusion of whimsical pop melodies and sharp, intellectual lyricism. Released during their prolific era, the track exemplifies their signature style of juxtaposing cheerful musical arrangements with unexpectedly subversive or satirical content. The song reflects the group's broader discography of using holiday themes as a vehicle for social commentary and absurdist humor, characteristic of their work from the late 1990s through the 2000s. As a staple of their catalog, it demonstrates the band's ability to craft memorable hooks while maintaining their distinct voice as a progressive rock and alternative pop act known for challenging conventional narratives.
