Once in 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
that 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 just messed up your thoughtless pleasures,
remember, if you wish, this is just a Christmas song.
(Hey! Santa! Pass us that bottle, will you?
