Spirit Of Christmas ----------------------- Christmas fun, Christmas cheer, It comes around every year. Presents, tree and food to buy, It's more expensive, the questions why? Smellies for mum, a tie for dad, What about the kids? Let's not go mad. Christmas morning kids awake Bleary eyed parents their beds vacate Christmas wrapping torn to shreds Whilst sensible folk are still in bed Who bought that for whom and why? You often hear a parent cry? It takes ‘D’ type batteries. How Many? I’ll have a look, I doubt we have any Why give presents, I’ll never know Without the batteries to make 'em go Quick sit down, nothing can go wrong False sense of security, bloody Buble's on Singing carols with that treacly voice of his Whilst the missus drinks Buck's Fizz From sofa to kitchen is an easy step Best get on with the dinners prep Turkey, pudding, the foods all bought, The vegetables weren't an afterthought. Pigs in blankets, stuffing too, Roast potatoes, we love you. A little voice is heard to shout "Don't forget about the sprouts" Those smelly evil balls so green Like small cabbages, just obscene It's nearly done, almost time, The kitchen timer begins to chime, The turkeys out, is it done? It's all stressful, not much fun. The family's hungry, they won't starve Sharpen the knife, it's time to carve. The knife cuts in, the juice is clear, Wash hands, sit down, dinner’s near. The food's all plated, the table’s laid, Something's missing, no gravy made. Gravy boats added to the orgy of food Everyone's in the Christmas mood You start if off by pulling crackers Eye up your opponent 'coz technique matters You need to win your prides at stake Dear old granny's feelings you forsake A quick bang and that moment of dread As a plastic toy whizzes past your head Did you win? Open your eyes take a look You've got the big part alpha male. Thank fuck. You put on the hat, your crowning glory Look for the joke, bound to be corny Rumblings and gurgles you hear from below Best help yourself to the food on show Have a bit of this and a lot of that Join a gym in new year to burn off the fat You clean the plate, another round beckons You eye the table for the pick of seconds You start to work up one of your meat sweats Something your arse in the morning may regret The last forkful goes in with some force The table is cleared for the pudding course Christmas pud, custard, chantilly cream Brandy butter, a high cholesterol dream. The lights dimmed for the main event Mums given the brandy to circumvent Last years eye singeing commotion Following the massive explosion Where dad had left a trail of liqueur From kitchen to table via the floor The puddings eaten, bellies past full More to come from the feast bountiful Even more food still to get through Cheese and biscuits, petit fours too Stuff our faces, we need to vomit Now the Stilton, we don't learn from it Pass the port, go on I'll have a sherry Indigestion, anyone got a Rennie. Lie on the sofa, fart and pass out This is what Christmas is all about.
