Christmas is not all it's cracked up to be
Families fighting around a plastic tree
Nothing on the TV that you'd want to see
And it's hardly ever snowing
The way it's meant to be
Like in White Christmas year after year
Bing Crosby, Bing Crosby,
Are you listening to me?
It doesn't often snow at Christmas
the way it's meant to do
But I'll still have a glow at Christmas
because I'll be with you
The Christmas message was long ago lost
Now it's all about shopping and how much things cost
It's meant to be goodwill as well as synthetic fun
and what is this year's festive number one
It doesn't often snow at Christmas
the way it's meant to do
But I'll still have a glow at Christmas
because I'll be with you
