A Christmas Song - Jethro Tull

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 )
