altogether now Hey! Ho!……….

We’re hanging up the tinsel
To decorate the tree
The fairy lights are working now
The fridge is full of beer

I’m standing ‘neath the mistletoe
I’m hoping for a kiss
Here comes auntie beryl
And she’s already pissed

Hey ho merry Christmas
Hey ho everyone
Hey ho merry Christmas
Hey ho let’s have fun

The turkey’s in the oven
The sprouts are peeled and boiled
And granny’s in the comfy chair
I think that she’s well oiled
The kids can’t wait to open
The gifts from santa’s sack
But dad’s gone to the toilet
We’ll have to wait till he gets back

Hey ho merry Christmas
Hey ho everyone
Hey ho merry Christmas
Hey ho let’s have fun

Dinner’s nearly ready
And dad’s got out his knife
He’s cutting up the turkey
I hope I get a slice
No chance of a leg then

I’ve overdone the eating
I think I might explode
No room for Christmas pudding
(silent belch) I think I have to go

Hey ho merry Christmas
Hey ho everyone
Hey ho merry Christmas
Hey ho let’s have fun

We’ve opened up our presents
I got the usual socks
And all the kids are playing
With a great big cardboard box
And mum forgot the batteries
She does that every year
And granny’s gone all maudling
And knocked over grandpa’s beer

Hey ho merry Christmas
Hey ho everyone
Hey ho merry Christmas
Hey ho let’s have fun
