Text Me Merry Christmas - The Princeton Footnotes & Tigerlilies (Straight No Chaser Cover)
In a year of Zoom classes and FaceTime dates, a Christmas celebration over text is just part of the equation. We got together (virtually) with our lovely friends in the Princeton Tigerlilies to recreate one of our favorite holiday traditions from our homes across the country. From all of us in the Footnotes and the Tigerlilies—Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and have a safe end of 2020!

LYRICS
This holiday
You'll be far away
And I'll be all alone
So please remember
This December
To fully charge your phone
And
Text me Merry Christmas
Let me know you care
Just a word or two
Of text from you
Will remind me you're still there
You don't have to add much to it
One smiley face will do
Baby text me Merry Christmas
Cause I'm missing kissing you
Text me Merry Christmas
Make my holidays complete
Though you're far from me
Say you'll BRB
That's a text I'll never delete
Choose just the right emoji
One that makes me LOL
And if you text me something naughty
I promise I won't tell
I don't care if you spell things right
I just want to hear from you tonight
Stroke those keys with your delicate touch
And type those little words that mean so much!
Hi
Hey
how are u
ok
miss you
miss u too
xmas sucks without you
i know lol
Love you.
love u
k thanx bye
A Facebook message isn’t quite as sweet
I need more from @you than just a tweet
Snap on Snapchat doesn't last
And voicemail, that's from Christmas past
Text me Merry Christmas
Send a selfie too
If you do, I'll go
'Neath the mistletoe
And pretend my screen is you
Show me that you love me
Text XO to kiss and hug me
I'll be right there waiting
For my pants to start vibrating
Baby text me Merry Christmas
And I will text you too
This Christmas
It's the least that we can do
Merry Christmas
Darling
