I'm walking backwards for Christmas

I'm walking backwards for Christmas,
Across the Irish Sea,
I'm walking backwards for Christmas,
It's the only thing for me.

I've tried walking sideways,
And walking to the front,
But people just look at me,
And say it's a publicity stunt..

I'm walking backwards for Christmas,
To prove that I love you.



Or failing that The Yingtong Song

There's a song that I recall
My mother sang to me.
She sang it as she tucked me in
When I was ninety-three..

Ying tong ying tong
Ying tong ying tong
Ying tong iddle I po,
Ying tong ying tong
Ying tong ying tong
Ying tong iddle I po
