Shining lights
The stars are bright and glowing
Smiling happy shoppers everywhere
On the streets
You can not miss
There’s Christmas in the air
But I’d rather see sun and sea in December
I don’t need no presents
I don’t care
The only good is all the food
I can eat that any time of year
Festive chiming
I don’t want to hear
Carols rhyming
Angels sing
I’m well aware
All the trees are sold
And joy surrendered
Merry stockings hang above the fire
Incomes low
Prices dear
But all’s fine with Christmas cheer
The world is burning
That is pretty clear
While we’re insisting to
Spend spend spend
Like we don’t care
I’m happy to pretend it’s not December
And glad that Christmas comes but once a year
Though I’m not hooked
It’s time to book
Some time for Christmas cheer
