The Special Christmas

christmas happens every year / it can get a little stale

so when the inn told joseph "overbooked"/ well there begins a tale their stockings were hung round the stable with care - mary opened hers with joy
and unto her a child was born / a bouncing saviour boy

the cattle they were a low-ow-owing /the baby starts to wake
but frosty says to jesus hush /be good for goodness sake
the shepherds watched their flocks by night/ but they had mighty dread
theyd leave and mr grinch would come/ and short sheet all their beds

but good king wenceslas looked out / and said ive got a trick
we'll have him go a wassailing / with me and old st nick

the three wise men they saw a star/ a shining in the east
so they said lets head for bethlehem/ there'll be a slap up feast
they were in a mess no gps / they couldnt find their way
so rudolph the red nosed reindeer said / hitch a ride on santas sleigh

The swans a swimming all came in grinning though they had soaking feet
And the french hens and the turtle doves said "well finally we meet"

donder and bltzen were sitting in the kitchen /putting christmas cake away
while the drummer boy was roasting nuts /with scrooge and mel torme
if you dont believe i will up and leave/ and let you heap your scorn
but they all rejoiced with heart and soul and voice/
the christmas that jesus was born
the christmas that jesus was born
merry christmas to all and to all a good night
