Trampled all the snow
And ate the chocolate money that was
For your kids
Conversations you forbid I really took to
I killed your mistletoe
I couldn’t find a pine tree
But I found a porcupine
I didn’t know it wouldn’t make you mine
Lesson learnt
The turkey’s burnt
The bad drunks well-supplied
Yuletide
Tongue-tied
Cross-eyed
Got it all wrapped up
At the slightest sound
My neighbour’s banging on the ceiling
I mix my drinks
And then lip-synch “I really love you”
My gifts were lost, never found
Your cat’s vomiting tinsel
Santa Claus in quarantine
How am I ever gonna make you mine?
Lesson learnt
The turkey’s burnt
The bad drunks well-supplied
Yuletide
Tongue-tied
Cross-eyed
Offside
Brain fried
Jekyll and Hyde
Bambi died
And we all cried
