As autumn fades, days get cold and birds are on the wing
December plans begin to stir, That's What Christmas Brings Displays are changing in the shops, tinsel glittering "It's Christmas", Slade screams from speakers high, That's What Christmas Brings Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Internet of Things Glued to screens from dawn 'till dusk, That's What Christmas Brings Queues for parking, queues for shopping, crowds a bustling Festive jumpers everywhere, That's What Christmas Brings Cards to write, stamps to buy, still we mustn't whinge Office parties, turkey lunches, That's What Christmas Brings Santas' grottos, children's choirs, carols for all to sing Snow may fall, we wrap up warm, That's What Christmas Brings The tree is up, the lights flash bright, the bells begin to ring Lists of hope and promises too, That's What Christmas Brings Sleepy eyes awake first light, just as the alarm clock pings The stockings full, "I think he's been", That's What Christmas Brings Pigs in blankets, round green veg', nothing out of tins The bird was big, but now is sliced, That's What Christmas Brings We pop the corks, the children play with their new shiny things The season of goodwill is here, That's What Christmas Brings The film is on, charades are played, Granddad always wins The family's all together, That's What Christmas Brings |
