Featuring Steve White & the Protest Family on “No!!”.
A prime slice of Leslie Sarony silliness from 1932.
Christmas only comes along to see us once a year
So we’re feeling very gay and hearty
Everyone is dressed up in their brand new Sunday gear
And everybody has a little party
The roads are full of mud and there is slush inside the yard
The only snow we ever see is on a Christmas card
It’s jolly old christmas
Look at old father, got a cigar on
It’s jolly old christmas
Everyone’s happy singing all the latest songs
We all pull our bonbons
Nothing but junk inside them
It’s jolly old christmas
All get a motto, everyone’s blotto
It’s jolly old christmas
Everyone’s full of ginger beer and monkey nuts
It’s jolly old christmas
Look at old mother, stuffing the turkey
It’s jolly old christmas
Look at the kids smile when they see the Christmas pud
And on father’s whiskers
Someone has tied a cracker
It’s jolly old christmas
Look it’s so pleasant, all get a present
It’s jolly old christmas
All that Pa gets is a lousy pair of socks
Jolly old Christmas, four more weeks and our income tax is due!
But are we downhearted? No!
What did Gladstone say in 1442?
Drink and be merry, for the next ten years will be the worst!
It’s jolly old christmas
There’s sister Mary dressed like a fairy
It’s jolly old christmas
Granny is laughing although she hasn’t many teeth.
We all drink old Jims health
He comes out of quad at easter
It’s jolly old christmas
Wear hats with bobs on, blooming great knobs on
It’s jolly old christmas
Oh we stuff ourselves until we nearly bust
It’s jolly old christmas
Look at our Nelly, she’s full of jelly
It’s jolly old christmas
Oh you’d think that we were blooming millionaires
They’ve got paper hats on
Fathers a blooming General
It’s jolly old christmas
Look at poor Molly, she’s sat on some holly
It’s jolly old christmas
We won’t have a blooming sausage when it’s done
