DmI once knew two sisters whosCe name it was FChristmas
And one was named DDmawn of course, the other Cone was named FEve
I wDmonder if they grew up hCating the sFeason
Of the gFood will that lasts 'til the feast of St. Stephen
For thFat is the time to eat, drCink, and be mFerry
'Til the bCeer is all spFilled and the whCiskey has flFowed
And the whFole family tree you neglCected to bFury
Are fCeeding their fFaces untCil they explDmode
Chorus:
There'll be lDmaughter and tCears over tFia mariCas
Washed dFown with that drink made from gCirders
'Cause it's Dmall we've got lCeft as they drDmaw their last brCeath
And it's nDmice for the kCids, as you fDminally get rFid of them
BbIn the St. Stephen's Day mCurdeFrs
Uncle is garglin' a heart-breaking air
While the babe in his arms pulls out all that remains of his hair
And we're not drunk enough yet to dare criticize
The great big kipper tie he's about to baptize
His gin-flavoured whiskers and kisses of sherry
His best crimble shirt slung out over the shop
While the lights from the Christmas tree blow up the telly
His face closes in like an old cold pork chop
Chorus
And the cDmarcass of the bCeast left Fover from the fCeast
May stFill be found hCaunting the kitchen
And there's lDmife in it yCet, we may lDmive to regrCet
When the Fones that we poisoned stop twCitchin'
Chorus
