When I was a small boy here in London town
Seasons snow was falling on the ground
All the friends and family here on Christmas eve
Gather around to dress the Christmas treeBut daddy's down at the pub
Full of Christmas cheer
Probably won't come home
Until next yearOh the Christmas bells are ringing
And the carolers are singing
Mom, daddy, he don't hear 'em
He's yellin' at the Christmas treeSanta's balls are jingling
Mommy's hips a-wiggling
But daddy, he don't hear 'em
He's yellin', he's yellin' at the Christmas tree
All right now, yeahUncle is a sports fan, granny likes a joke
But no one laughs when daddy's stumbles home
But he don't fall asleep, the night was getting black
You see, oh God dad had too much jack, oh LordEvery year is the same old thing
Like Rudolph's red nose
Telling this story will never get oldOh the Christmas bells are ringing
And the carolers are singing
But daddy, he don't hear 'em
He's yellin' at the Christmas treeSanta's balls are jingling
Mommy's hips a-wiggling
But daddy, he don't hear 'em
He's yellin', he's yellin' at the Christmas tree
Well alright now, yeah, well alright now
Yellin' at the Christmas treeSanta came down the chimney but then he ran upstairs
Jumped in bed with mommy, she didn't care
Across the room went the fruitcakes the wreath came off the door
If these are holidays I can take no moreEvery year it's the same old thing
Like Rudolph's red nose
Hearing this story will never get oldOh the Christmas bells are ringing
And the carolers are singing
But daddy, he don't hear 'em
He's yellin' at the Christmas treeSanta's balls are jingling
Mommy's hips a-wiggling
But daddy, he don't hear 'em
He's yellin' at the Christmas treeSanta's balls are jingling
Mommy's hips a-wiggling
But daddy, he don't hear 'em
He's yellin', he's yellin' at the Christmas tree
All right now, yeahYellin' at the Christmas tree
He's yellin' at the Christmas tree
He's yellin' at the Christmas tree
He's sleeping it the Christmas tree
