Before the nights get darker
And the clocks go back,
You’re already making
Your plan of attack.
You’re going all out
Cos before the kids are grown,
You’ll have the best Christmas
You’ve ever known.
The tree, the presents and
of course the Christmas roast,
It’s the only topic on your mind
But try not to boast.
Christmas, Christmas is coming on the 25th,
Christmas, Christmas what’s on your wishlist?
Christmas, Christmas when Santa comes to call,
Christmas, Christmas we hope you get it all.
The very first sign is when you
Put up the tree,
It’s a job of love for
An hour or three.
A bauble here
An icicle there,
It’ll tickle grandad’s ear
when he sits in his chair.
Tickly tinsel
And fairy lights,
The beloved Christmas tree
Will warm those winter nights.
Christmas, Christmas is coming on the 25th,
Christmas, Christmas what’s on your wishlist?
Christmas, Christmas when Santa comes to call,
Christmas, Christmas we hope you get it all.
Then wrapping the gifts
You’ve gotta get those corners tight,
Sneaking them down
I’m the middle of the night.
Did you ever see such
Delight on a face,
As the face of a child
Who sees it all in its place?
The paper is torn
The squeals ring loud,
And the family look on
Bursting and proud.
Christmas, Christmas is coming on the 25th,
Christmas, Christmas what’s on your wishlist?
Christmas, Christmas when Santa comes to call,
Christmas, Christmas we hope you get it all.
Last of all
Is the Christmas dinner,
You know all the things
That make it this year’s winner.
Pigs in blankets nestled
Into the mash,
And at least three Brussels
That’ll give someone gas.
Crispy stuffing
by your turkey leg,
And filling your plate
At least four kinds of veg!
Christmas, Christmas is coming on the 25th,
Christmas, Christmas what’s on your wishlist?
Christmas, Christmas when Santa comes to call,
Christmas, Christmas we hope you get it all.
Now to pull a cracker
and wear your paper crown,
Everyone is happy
Not a soul feeling down.
Christmas pudding set ablaze,
And mince pies
That go on for days.
It’s over too quick
Gone in a flash,
But at least you’ve
Got yourself
A massive chocolate stash!
Christmas, Christmas is coming on the 25th,
Christmas, Christmas what’s on your wishlist?
Christmas, Christmas when Santa comes to call,
Christmas, Christmas we hope you get it all.
