about

A cheery drinking or social Christmas song with cockney rhyming slang written by Lesley Jorgensen. Many of her friends and own daughter are vocalists on the track.

lyrics

It’s that magical time in December
Try not to forget what it means
There’s a lot more to Christmas than presents and things,
And gettin’ stuff that we don’t really need,
So if you know of a neighbour who’s on their Jack Jones
Or your old china’s had a divorce
Get down to Tesco for a bottle of gin
And go see them and get off your arse

Don’t want any more of that useless old crap
Don’t need any more of the things that you wrap
A smile or a kiss or a cuddle would be
The best, bloody Christmas to me
The best, bloody Christmas to me

We all tend to splash out on rubbish
Bad gadgets and naff novelties
But if you dig deeper in your sky rocket
And donate to a fab charity
And if you spend some of your time volunteering
I bet you’ll feel well-chuffed it’s true
But if you’re tight as a duck’s and you don’t give a stuff
Then it’s sweet Fanny Adams for you

Don’t want any more of that useless old crap
Don’t need any more of the things that you wrap
A smile or a kiss or a cuddle would be
The best, bloody Christmas to me
The best, bloody Christmas to me

It’s a good time to bury the hatchet
And bring out the love in our hearts
Go post a card to your uncle
Even though he’s a grumpy old fart
Try to forgive if you’re able
And forget all your woes for a while
Come raise a glass for Christmas
And let’s have a bloody, good time…..

Don’t want any more of that useless old crap
Don’t need any more of the things that you wrap
A smile or a kiss or a cuddle would be
The best, bloody Christmas to me x2
Don’t want any more of that useless old crap
Don’t need any more of the things that you wrap
A smile or a kiss or a cuddle would be
The best, bloody Christmas to me
The best, bloody Christmas……. to me
