Christmas Blues
Well, I woke up this morning
And i set off to the shops
But, Lord, though it's just November
They've put out all their Christmas stock.
I got the Christmas blues
A'heavy on my mind
I get the Christmas blues
Most every Christmas-time.
And as i walked along the aisles
What d'ya think i heard?
Lots of carols and 'White Christmas'
And i was lost for words.
I got the Christmas blues
Right now it's Christmas-time
Lord, it's all got so commercial
Pass me another wine.
I got the Christmas blues
A'heavy on my mind
I get the Christmas blues
Most every Christmas-time.
