You put the Christmas tree up

I take the Christmas tree down

Just so the children associate me

With everything wrong in this town

It's December it's snowing the feeling is growing

The parents can't even explain

It just feels so right when the pavements are white

And everyone boos if it brains

I still put the carrots right out

A mince pie milk or maybe some port

Even go down in the middle of night

Drink them make sure I'm never caught

They don't blame you for trying but all three are crying

The dinner's dried up and it's black

In the least of surprises I bought the wrong sizes

They all know that dad wants her back

Dad wants her back

The year I knocked Christmas tree down

Just an hour after I put it up

Adjusting the angel nativity's crown

And claiming you'd not been to pub

Yes the brandy is flowing your dad's nose is glowing

The whole house is decked green and red

The snowman in snowdrift the grittering driver

With snowball aimed at his head

I still put the carrots right out

A mince pie milk or maybe some port

Even go down in the middle of night

Drink them make sure I'm never caught

They don't blame you for trying but all three are crying

The dinner's dried up and it's black

In the least of surprises you bought the wrong sizes

They all know that dad wants her back

Dad wants her back

I take the lights off the tree

First turn them off at the wall

Just so the very last glimmer of Christmas

I'm seen to be ending it all

I still put the carrots right out

A mince pie milk or maybe some port

Even go down in the middle of night

Drink them make sure I'm never caught

Christmas for many just a lucky old penny

A quiet glass of whiskey in chair

But Christmas for me is a cold cup of tea

And a morning with none of you there
