I got a cold for Christmas – song lyrics to “I got a cold for Christmas” as sung by the Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Curly Joe DeRita)
(from the album, Christmas Time with the Three Stooges)
I was good as solid gold,
And did the things that I was told,
The days nobody had a stove,
But I got a cold for Christmas.
Johnny got a brand new sled,
With shiny runners painted red,
He’s outside but I’m in bed,
I got a cold for Christmas.
All the other girls and boys,
Ran downstairs to get their toys,
But all I did was sneeze and sniff,
And use my Christmas handkerchief!
It can’t be right, it isn’t fair,
I brushed my teeth and combed my hair,
But did it get me anywhere?
I got a cold for Christmas.
Waited by the windowsill,
Just for Santa, caught a chill,
Where’s my penicillin pill?
I got a cold for Christmas.
Granny got a brand new gun,
And Jim got electric trains that run,
I got a fever of one hundred and one,
I got a cold for Christmas!
