lyrics

I'm so lonely and blue
What a Christmas without you
No presents wrapped beneath a tree
My fortune wrapped in a cookie
On 5th Avenue there's couples in love
I'm stuck in here while people shove
Shove down a fork of sweet 'n' sour pork
In a Chinese restaurant on Christmas

What a lonely Christmas night
Watching hungry families fight
The waiter shouts, "Order now!"
Oh, I have the broken-heart Kung Pao
Cryin' tears on photographs
While a golden Buddha laughs
Oh yeah, he's laughin' at me while I drown my misery
In a Chinese restaurant on Christmas

Christmas time was supposed to be
Fireplaces, family
But here I am wonderin' how
I'm spendin' it with General Tso

I'm so lonely and blue
What's a boy supposed to do
When the city's draped in snow
And you got nowhere warm to go?
Every single haunt and crawl
Have locked their doors, I've checked 'em all
Oh yeah, all that I want is a Chinese restaurant
A Chinese restaurant on Christmas
