Christmas is coming
The goose is getting fat,
I can't afford a goose
So I'll bake a sewer rat.
The trifle's in the fridge
And the pudding's in the cupboard,
There's nothing else to eat
A bit like Mother Hubbard.
The Christmas Tree is sparkling
The tinsel's rather floppy,
I'll have a glass of wine or two
And then I'll get all soppy.
The fairy lights are on the blink
The pots are piled up in the sink,
The Christmas cake has sunk in the middle
And so another Christmas hey fiddle diddle.
