lyrics

Food enough to see out one hundred-thousand years
Dulcet tones of the Brooms ringing in your ears
Outside the snow is falling
The robin softly calling you
To bring good cheer
Six laying-geese are honking
And reindeer hooves are stomping
That’s how you’ll know its Christmas time

Christmas jumpers in the shops, the weather’s getting cool
Stupid adverts on the box take you for a fool
The family’s gifts need wrapping
And neighbours’ doors need tapping
Wassail we will sing
Old ladies’ sprouts need peeling
There’s tinsel on the ceiling
That’s how you’ll know its Christmas time

A holy anthem that resounds, straining to be heard
A glimpse of hope, a tale of peace waiting to be learned
The killing fields are silent
No fear, no pain, no violence
Walls have broken down
A light dispels the darkness
Our hearts are filled with gladness
The clouds have silver linings
A million stars are shining
That’s how we’ll know its Christmas time
