We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a....etc etc

Deck the tree with plastic baubles
 Tra la la la la – la la la la
Dig out last year’s tatty tinsel
 Tra la la la la – la la la la
Spend an hour, changing light bulbs
Grab a child, wind the flex, round its neck
Nail the fairy with a hammer
Watching all the needles hit the deck


Trudging  through the muddy farmyard
 Tra la la la la – la la la la
Hail and sleet are falling hard now
 Tra la la la la – la la la la
Ducks and Chickens, stand and shiver 
Won-der-ing, where all the, Turkeys are
Gone to roost in poultry heaven
Having spent the night in the A-ga


Hands are frozen to the quad bike
 Tra la la la la – la la la la
Sheep are bleating for more hay now
 Baa ba ba ba baa – ba baa baa baa
Scrape the dung out, straw for bedding
Silage bale, for the cows, munch, munch, munch
Clothes are smelling something rotten
Must be time to stop, for Christmas lunch


Kids are fighting, sheepdog howling
 Tra la la la la – la la la la
In-laws pinch the best seats going
 Tra la la la la – la la la la
Pull the crackers, glass of mulled wine
Crispy spuds, Yorkshire puds, “more food here!”
Nod off half way through East Enders
That’s it for another blooming year!
