| When you're stuffing yourselves at the Christmas parties, |
| you'll just laugh when I tell you to take a running jump. |
| You're missing the point I'm sure does not need making |
| that Christmas spirit is not what you drink. |
| So how can you laugh when your own mother's hungry, |
| and how can you smile when the reasons for smiling are wrong? |
| And if I just messed up your thoughtless pleasures, |
| remember, if you wish, this is just a Christmas song. |
| (Hey! Santa! Pass us that |
| bottle, will you?) |
