Cynthia Ann Stephanie Lauper (born June 22, 1953), is a Grammy Award-winning singer (who possesses a four-octave vocal range) and Emmy Award-winning film, television and theatre actress. Her melodic voice and wild costumes have come to epitomize the 1980s and New Wave — the decade and genre in which she first came to fame. Born in Queens, New York to Swiss German-American Fred Lauper and Sicilian Italian-American Catrine Dominique. She began her career in a cover band, but soon began performing her own songs - though she almost quit singing altogether due to strained vocal chords in 1977). By 1980 she'd released a rockabilly album on Polydor with the band Blue Angel.

Home on Christmas Lyrics
Cyndi Lauper
Sitting in some hotel room
Some place far away
Saw a shop light screaming christmas
Bought your present there today
Pre-chorus:
i'll be home on christmas day
i am just a thought away
and every christmas tree
reminds me where i'd rather be
The drunken santa on the corner
Looks a little blue
But the twinkle in his eye dear
Looks a little like you
Chorus:
i'll be home on christmas day
i am just a thought away
and every christmas tree
reminds me where i'd rather be
home on christmas day
i am just a thought away
but anywhere i'll be
you will always be christmas to me
Something about this season
Makes me feel a little queer
Everybody's so dam jolly
I wish you were here
Chorus:
i'll be home on christmas day
i am just a thought away
and every christmas tree
reminds me where i'd rather be
home on christmas day
i am just a thought away
but anywhere i'll be
you will always be christmas to me
