Once in Royal David's City stood a lowly cattle shed

Where a mother laid her baby

You'd do well to remember the things He later said

When you're stuffing yourselves at the Christmas parties

You'll laugh when I tell you to take a running jump

You're missing the point I'm sure does not need making

That Christmas spirit is not what you drink

So how can you laugh when your own mother's hungry

And how can you smile when the reasons for smiling are wrong?

And if I messed up your thoughtless pleasures

Remember, if you wish, this is just a Christmas song

Hey, Santa: Pass us that bottle, will you?
