lyrics

The turkey’s in
Gran’s on the gin
Singing Silent Night
Morcambe and Wise
Plates of mince pies
Halls are decked and bright.

So we shovel down sprouts
While everyone shouts
Joy is all the rage
And with presents unwrapped
We relish the fact
Some things never change.

Chorus
Another perfect Christmas
So we all sing
Let another perfect Christmas begin.

Two metre gaps
NHS claps
And we’re all wearing masks
Lockdowns agreed
Bubbles of three
News that makes us gasp.

So our loved ones are Zoomed
While others marooned
Ask why is this so strange?
And we’re forced to adapt
To accept the fact
Some things sometimes change.

Chorus
It’s not a perfect Christmas
But we still sing
Let a not so perfect Christmas begin.

It’s a slightly different Christmas this year
But there’s no need to hold back the cheer
’Cause with love and understanding
Our kindness keeps expanding
We come together as one family.

It’s a slightly different Christmas
But we still sing
Let another perfect Christmas begin
It’s a slightly different Christmas
But we all sing
Let the vaguely perfect Christmas begin.
