Once in a royal David`s city
Stood a lonely cattle shed
Where a mother held her baby.
You`d do well to remember the things he later said.
When you`re stuffing yourselves at the Christmas parties
You`ll just laugh when I tell you to take a running jump.
You`re missing the point I`m sure does not need making:
The Christmas spirit is not what you drink.
So how can you laugh when your own mother`s hungry,
And how can you smile when the reasons for smiling are wrong?
And if I`ve just messed up your thoughtless pleasures
Remember, if you wish, this is just a Christmas song.
