Thread Name: Lyr Req: Mary's Gone and Left Me for the Man...
Subject: Lyr Add: ...LEFT ME FOR THE MAN FROM TOYS R US
Here you are- we nicked it last year-- many thanks to Geoff & Dave Mary Christmas - His worship and the pig
I'm a sad and sorry Santa as you can plainly see There are no Christmas baubles hanging on my Christmas tree No mistletoe no holly no tinsel round the door I don't think I'll be celebrating Christmas anymore.
So don't hang your stocking on the mantle shelf Don't leave a treat for Rudolf and myself Stuff the Christmas turkey and sod the Christmas fuss Mary's gone and left me for the man from Toys R Us
She said that she was weary of me always wearing red Brassed off with me spending every Christmas Day in bed Sick of one horse open sleighs to do the weekly shopping Sick and tired of clearing up the piles of reindeer droppings
Then Jason came from Toys R Us with his folders and his files His GCE his Ford Capri his smarmy salesman's smiles He said he'd come to help the gnomes the fairies and the elves But looking back it seems like all he did was help himself
He says that I keep trotting out the same old dull designs That modern kids want modern toys reflecting modern times He says my dolly's houses and my choo-choo trains are silly They all want Sindy dolls with busts and action men with willies
Came home one night from working late and there was Mary's note Can't stand the life here any more's the gist of what she wrote She said that she was sorry and that I'd soon forget And she'd gone to live in Milton Keynes in Jason's maisonette
