I've waited all autumn for winter to come I have watched the dark evenings surrounding the sun I have lighted my fire, the season's begun Because Christmas is with us again Yes, Christmas is with us again The fine decorations, they light up the town It is crowded and bustling with thousands around And it's all a big business, though profits are down And Christmas is with us again Yes, Christmas is with us again And it's tatty and tawdry and shabby and stale And the spirit of Christmas is lined with fine ales And we spend all our money, complain at the price Forgetting the reason, the birth of the Christ But we're swimming in seasonal goodwill and cheer It's the finest, the very best time of the year And we're bound to enjoy it all now that it's here Now that Christmas is with us again Yes, Christmas is with us again And it's tatty and tawdry and shabby and stale And the spirit of Christmas is lined with fine ales And we spend all our money, complain at the price Forgetting the reason, the birth of the Christ I have waited all autumn to celebrate birth When the one Son of God became flesh on this earth But we're milking the season for all it is worth And Christ is forgotten again Yes, Christ is forgotten again And Christ is forgotten again Spoken: Let's remember Christ this Christmas
