Fetch the canapes, its finally the sea-son The one and only day, presents under the tree, oh More ornaments, wrap tinsel in your hair This will be the best one yet I do declare, oh Its Chris-uh-mes ho yes, round the world Its Chris-uh-mes ho yes, round the world Pav-lo-va, and pumpkin pie Pav-lo-va, and pumpkin pie Pav-lo-va, and pumpkin pie Aggressively I gobble Carols at last, still can’t hit the notes Still we sing from the depths of our heart Carry on this yearly endeavor Joke is old I guess but we think we’re so smart Its Chris-uh-mes ho yes, round the world Its Chris-uh-mes ho yes, round the world Let it snow, little drum, silent night Let it snow, little drum, silent night Let it snow, little drum, silent night Impressively I carol Expressively I carol During recording, the drinks they are being poured ‘Tis the season for it, have a couple more Urgent message shown on my telephone In-laws they have come to stay, need you to come home Its Chris-uh-mes ho yes, round the world Its Chris-uh-mes ho yes, round the world Egg nog, some rum, and mulled wine Egg nog, some rum, and mulled wine Egg nog, some rum, and mulled wine Emptying the bottle I’m sending out an S.O.S. I’m tipsy now and loquacious Pretending I’m not pissed, oh yes Offending now, it is doubtless Thought I was impervious To temptation and excess but to them both I acquiesce My tolerance is now much less Afraid that I’m an awful mess I’m showing up in fancy dress To Christmas dinner with our guests This was my one chance to impress First impressions accurate This is a night they won’t forget A drunken table minuet While huzzing down a cigarette I’m sending out an SMS To friends are likely to transgress Bad decisions contagious Bender now on Chris-uh-mas

Every Sleep You Fake 04:11
lyrics

If you are awake Your sleeping is all fake Rise before daybreak That’s the chance you take I’ll be watching you Wake up Christmas day With no toys to play Cos you stayed up late And that sealed your fate I was watching you On Christmas eve… You better be asleep And for goodness sake Please leave out a plate Of cookies freshly baked And carrots there to take Just to satiate Rudolph and his mates While they’re flying through Toys you want, could be lost without a trace They’re all wrapped up and conveniently misplaced I’ve got my list, and your name will be erased If I get word of bad behaviour taking place I keep saying don’t ya, be naughty On Christmas eve… You better be asleep Cos there’s no escape I’ve got it all on tape Every sleep you fake Could be a mistake Hidden in your drapes Secret video tape I’ve been watching you I’ll be watching you (Round your house I traipse) (Peeking through the drapes) (Watching your mistakes) (Round your house I traipse) I’ll be watching you (Creepin’ your hallway) (Early Christmas day) (Don’t you runaway) (Creepin' your hallway)

Won't Stand (My Christmas Tree) 03:31
lyrics

Main feature, to erect Our massive Christmas tree Front window, so proudly For the whole world to see Take pride in, decorating I will not be upstaged One problem, and it shows now Put me in a Christmas rage Won’t stand, won’t stand no It won’t stand my Christmas tree Won’t stand, won’t stand no It won’t stand my Christmas tree I send for a trellis But they are hard to get This time it's not so easy The store’s not open yet Vacation, frustration Options are running dry I won’t stop, crusading Until I rectify Won’t stand, won’t stand no It won’t stand my Christmas tree Won’t stand, won’t stand no It won’t stand my Christmas tree Got caught in, the storeroom Of the hardware supply Smashed window, I climbed through Police they ask me why I produce, a picture Of my flacid tree, they scoff “You’ll spend the next night in Lock up ‘til you cool off” Red hand, red-handed, Red-handed they caught me Red hand, red handed, Red-handed they caught me Remand, I’m remanded Remanded in custody Remand, I’m remanded Remanded in custody (all because it) Won’t stand, won’t stand no It won’t stand my Christmas tree Won’t stand, won’t stand no It won’t stand my Christmas tree (Please don’t fall down, Christmas tree)
