Wake up early Christmas morning
Me ‘ed feels like a swollen spud
Too much sherbert down the disco
But as for crumpet there was none!
I goes to make a cuppa Rosy
In the kitchen there was Mother peelin sprouts (she said)
“You’d better get yourself together son, the families on their way” and there’s no doubt …
Oh, we’ll av a old knees up this Christmas
Oh well its that special time of year
Pullin crackers round the table
And all me Aunts they make a fuss
They pull me cheeks and tell me “Aint you grown up!”
“Ere, Grandma Hilda, pass the nuts!”
Me Uncle Reg well he’s a butcher
He gets me mum the finest cuts
But he’s forgotten to bring the turkey
Gaw blimey guv, mother’s doin er nut! there’s no other meat, but we don’t care cos
Oh, we’ll av a old knees up this Christmas
Oh well its that special time of year
Oh we’re givin it all, we’re avin a ball this Christmas
Oh so fill your glass and raise a cheer
Around the tree we’re passin presents
And me Dad he’s bought me Mum some lingere (oh er misses)
But the only problem is they’re three sizes too big
She’s got the ‘ump I think its fair to say! (bloody cheek)
Now me Grandad, well, he likes to tickle the ivories
On the merchant ships is where he learnt his trade
Well he’s got us crowded round that old Joanna (here we go)
Lambeth Walk, Any Old Iron, We’ll Meet Again (all together now)
Oh, we’ll av a old knees up this Christmas
Oh well its that special time of year
Oh we’re givin it all, we’re avin a ball this Christmas
Oh so fill your glass and raise a cheer
