(Shane MacGowan)

It seems like a freeze out

It seems like a freize

Stumbling I fell down

And prayed on my knees

The ice wagon's coming

To pick up the stiffs

Had a chat with an old one

He was gone in a jiff

And Santa and his reindeer

Jumped over the moon

So hush little child

Santa's coming here soon

It's a Christmas lullaby

Tura lura luray

Tura lura lie

Tura lura luray

It's a Christmas lullaby



I hope you grow up angry

Just like your dear old dad

I hope you grow up brave and strong

Not like me - all weak and sad

You said "Daddy, daddy,

You're stinking of booze"

I kissed him and said, "Kid,

I was born to lose.

But you have a future

And a big one to say

And I hope you'll remember

All the love that I gave."

Heres to all the little kids

Who haven't got no clothes

Heres to all the little kids

Who haven't got no homes

It's Christmas time in Palastine

It's Christmas in Beirut

They're scrapping 'round for rice

Not for tutti fruits

And the Christmas lights, they blew up

Now the 'lecky's all gone dead

I look like a coal miner

And I've a pain inside my head

Tura lura luray
