Ever seen the original lyrics to . . .

[Mudcat]

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas ?

I just came upon the original version as it was presented to Judy Garland and Vincent Minnelli for the film, Meet Me in St. Louis. Apparently they demanded changes finding it to be depressing.

You think?



Have yourself a merry little Christmas, it may be your last,
Next year we may all be living in the past
Have yourself a merry little Christmas, pop that champagne cork,
Next year we will all be living in New York.

No good times like the olden days, happy golden days of yore,
Faithful friends who were dear to us, will be near to us no more.

But at least we all will be together, if the Fates allow,
From now on we'll have to muddle through somehow.
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

Wow. I still find it to be pretty melancholy. It is one of my favorite xmas songs, though that's not saying much.

And the recently discovered missing verse:


Have yourself a merry little Christmas, though your joints may hurt
Next year you'll be decomposing in the dirt

And the recently discovered missing verse:


Have yourself a merry little Christmas, though your joints may hurt
Next year you'll be decomposing in the dirt

Please make a video with the missing verse.

My favorite is the Charlie Brown Christmas song. I can listen to that shit on loop.

Especially while eating ass.
