Sing along ↗
The nights are getting longer now
A chill is in the air
What used to be a time of cheer
To spend with friends and share
Offends the woke-y doke-ys
If you put up lights and sing
Oh, what I'd give to have
Christmas back again
When we were young
The three of us would see
Could we hear Santa coming down our chimney?
The lights would get so hot
The bulbs would always blow
This 80s Christmas time
The tree's a bonfire show
But now the years have passed
The bulbs all LED
Those pretty Christmas lights
All 'round a plastic tree
Decorations fill the stores
Just after Halloween
Easter eggs by New Year's Eve
A nightmare from a dream
So let the bells ring
Hear those hearts sing
Just bring me back
Old Christmas again
You don't have to go broke
All those gifts are just a joke
Show love to your friends
Oh, it's Christmas time again
The house fills with smiles
As family starts to arrive
The smell of that turkey
Widens your eyes
Uncle Reg three whiskeys deep
And Grandpa starts to sing
We gather 'round the piano
It's Christmas time again
You told Nan that I love chess
I don't know what you're thinking
Well, that one you saved is knotty soap
So let's just call it even
We laugh out loud, confusion spreads
It's gifts from Auntie Lily
Some undies for a five-year-old
But you've turned twenty-three
Jump forward to these PC times
Where fun and laughter faded
The one guy in a Christmas jumper
Screaming at his neighbor
That Christmas spirit, bring it back
Mariah said it better
Just you under the mistletoe
And now some awful sweater
So let the bells ring
Hear those hearts sing
Just bring me back
Old Christmas again
You don't have to go broke
All those gifts are just a joke
Show love to your friends
Yeah, it's Christmas time again
Open your heart to all mankind
'Cause that's the real meaning
Take time off work and spread the love
Carols sing with soul and feeling
Don't let those Grinches hold you back
Get dancing on the tables
This year let's bring Christmas back
For the one born in a stable
So let the bells ring
Hear those hearts sing
Just bring me back
Old Christmas again
You don't have to go broke
All those gifts are just a joke
Show love to your friends
It's Christmas time again
So this year I'm gonna bring it back
Don't you try and stop me
The lights are up, the tree is too
Cards gone to friends and family
Marching up that church to ring those bells
They'll sound out through the city
If you're lonely, take my hand
Come have some good times with me
The only gift this big world needs
Was what we've all been longing
The birthday boy taught us well
Just love and not belongings
So Santa give me just one thing
No elves will have to make it
Just bring the good old Christmas back
So we don't have to fake it
So let the bells ring
Hear those hearts sing, yeah
Just bring me back
Old Christmas again, oh yeah
All those gifts are just a joke
Show love to your friends
It's Christmas time again
