Subject: Lyr Add: CHRISTMAS DINNER (Tennessee Ernie Ford) From: Jim Dixon Date: 29 Apr 16 - 01:40 AM CHRISTMAS DINNER Written by Tennessee Ernie Ford As recorded by Tennessee Ernie Ford, 1951. There's a big fat turkey or maybe a ham, Brown fluffy biscuits all covered with jam, Blackberry, huckleberry, mince, and pumpkin pies. If you don't watch out, you're gonna double your size. Mommy's in the kitchen; daddy's at the tree, Little boys and girls all shouting with glee. Granny sets the table; ev'rything's in place. When she says "Come and get it" you'll really see a race. |: Look at the giblet gravy (Mm-mm!) And the big brown drumsticks! (Mm-mm!) Daddy says: "Don't get the tummy-ache. Here comes your mother with a big fruitcake." There's a floating custard and pudding too, Oodles and oodles for me and you. I'll say one thing and you must agree: What a happy, happy time Christmas dinner can be! :| Now they're all together; what a bountiful fare! Mother sits down next to baby's highchair. [slower tempo:] Daddy folds his hands and bows his head. Let's all do the same, for there's thanks to be said: "Dear Lord, we thank thee for this food. Bless us together and make us good. Enter our hearts and cast out sin. Bring peace on earth, good will to men." |

Subject: Lyr Add: CHRISTMAS DINNER COUNTRY STYLE (B Crosby) From: pdq Date: 13 Dec 12 - 01:03 PM CHRISTMAS DINNER COUNTRY STYLE As recorded by Bing Crosby Songwriters: Ralph Freed, Grace Saxon
Mother, mother, everybody's starvin'.
Jeremiah, go and help your mother.
Mother, mother, everybody's happy.
Everybody sit an' bow your head.
Put your napkin on your lap
Oh, don't that turkey look divine?
Now sashay along that country ham,
Time for your partner to reach across
Have another helpin', one and all,
When you're all sashay'd and do-si-do'd,
Oh, the dinner was grand, to say the least,
Mother, mother, thank you for the dinner.
Jeremiah, go and get your fiddle.
It's a very, very merry Christmas. |

Subject: Christmas Dinner Country Style From: GUEST,Chris Murray Date: 13 Dec 12 - 12:39 PM I ask this every year. My favourite Christmas song is Christmas Dinner Country Style, as sung by Bing Crosby. I would love the complete lyrics. Every link to the lyrics that I've ever been given is incomplete as nobody seems to know the full lyrics. Does anyone happen to know them? |
