about

A holiday song about the best city in the world.

lyrics

The street lamps are wrapped up in Holiday lights
Store fronts are set all aglow
There's a poster promoting some caroling on Market Square
but there won't be no snow

And they're lighting the tree up on Gay Street
near the Tennessee Theatre tonight
Merry Christmas, you scruffy animals in the pub
and the Pilot Light

And I'm smoking a secondhand cigarette
While the opening band plays inside
There's a kid on the sidewalk
He's out of key singing out, "Silent Night"

And he's loud as hell but it's just as well
'Cause he's holy as holy can be
Have a scruffy little Christmas down in Knoxville, Tennessee
