Christmas time, no bells around Christmas time, muffled and knocked down Christmas time (Da da da da da da da da da da da) All the family is in the house today How I wish I had never gone away I see Christ's blood on the street Something here is the wrong way round Ahhhhhhh ahhhhhhh (Da da da da da da da da da da da) The feast of man in October Menus for hampers Why did I come back? I came back to Earth The only thing good to say is all the politicians are on holiday Let's hope for a protein protection Christmas through all the land (Da da da da da da da da da da da) To all our Euro and friends in Jerusalem and Damascus and Pra-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-gue Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho Fastest out of the club with excuses Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Who's the fastest out of the club with excuses? In my re-enforced exile You know it's the smell Anytime Anytime
