Dm C F I once knew two sisters whose name it was Christmas Dm C F And one was named Dawn of course, the other one was named Eve Dm C F I wonder if they grew up hating the season F Of the good will that lasts 'til the feast of St. Stephen F C F For that is the time to eat, drink, and be merry C F C F 'Til the beer is all spilled and the whiskey has flowed F C F And the whole family tree you neglected to bury C F C Dm Are feeding their faces until they explode Chorus: Dm C F C There'll be laughter and tears over tia marias F C Washed down with that drink made from girders Dm C Dm C 'Cause it's all we've got left as they draw their last breath Dm C Dm F And it's nice for the kids, as you finally get rid of them Bb C F In the St. Stephen's Day murders Uncle is garglin' a heart-breaking air While the babe in his arms pulls out all that remains of his hair And we're not drunk enough yet to dare criticize The great big kipper tie he's about to baptize His gin-flavoured whiskers and kisses of sherry His best crimble shirt slung out over the shop While the lights from the Christmas tree blow up the telly His face closes in like an old cold pork chop Chorus Dm C F C And the carcass of the beast left over from the feast F C May still be found haunting the kitchen Dm C Dm C And there's life in it yet, we may live to regret F C When the ones that we poisoned stop twitchin' Chorus |
