Listening to The Pogues now for every single year,
It's that fairytale and nothing else that brings me Christmas cheer.
It's gonna be the X-Factor that wins the charts again,

Unless Nirvana get Christmas number one.

It's the pop sensation that will never be heard of again

in the January bargain bin.
"Everything's unlistenable", we hear it all time and again,
So we might as well join in...


It's Christmas, Christmas, we're cashing in on Christmas,
playing that song

that's totally derivative.
It's Christmas, Christmas, we're cashing in on Christmas,
Can't believe you're putting up with it.


There's a secret formula for Christmas hits to work,
you put "Christmas" in the chorus,

and "swagger" in the verse
SWAG
Somehow they ruined Live Aid when it couldn't get much worse,

We're gonna scream some Christmas carols till it hurts.

Christmas is for drinking and we never turn on the TV

unless it's Back To The Future Part II
Who on Earth would wanna watch these people pretending to sing
when Side Show wrote this Christmas song for you!


It's Christmas, Christmas, we're cashing in on Christmas,
playing that song

that's totally derivative.
It's Christmas, Christmas, we're cashing in on Christmas,
Can't believe you're putting up with

It's Christmas, Christmas, we're cashing in on Christmas,
playing that song
that's totally derivative.

It's Christmas, Christmas, we're cashing in on Christmas,
Can't believe you just put up with it.
