lyrics

On the road the frost is glistening, people stream from Midnight Mass.
Friendly candles glow in windows, strangers greet you as you pass.
Home then to the laden table; ham and goose and pints of beer,
Whisky handed 'round in tumblers, Christmas comes but once a year!

Puddings made with eggs and treacle, Seeded raisins and ground suet,
Sated breadcrumbs and mixed spices, Grated rind and plenty fruit,
Cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg, Porter, brandy, and old ale.
Don't forget the wine and whisky! Christmas comes but once a year!

Folks are fussing in the kitchen, Lay the food on every plate.
All impatient in the hallway, Guinness and porter while they wait.
Who cares if we work tomorrow? Now's the time to spread good cheer!
Pass the punch around the table! Christmas comes but once a year!

When at last the day’s complete and all the family’s gone away
Santa’s come and left his treats for us to find on Christmas day
Never was there such a rollick; wasn’t it grand to have yous here
Now I’m sad and melancholic: Christmas comes but once a year
