Ready For Christmas

Ready For Christmas

I've spent the day getting the house ready for Christmas
I've cleaned dusted vacuumed polished every orifice
Ready to hang the decorations making more Christamssy
I've set the tree, hang on the lights and pretty baubles

I've, hang pretty natural natures garlands on the walls
The old boy extols go not over the top, really there's no need
He's such a Neanderthal spoiling the enjoyment
Go live in a cave if you want not Christmas

I just ignored him & went on my own sweet way
So I dressed all the decks ready for Christmas
Have to make a cake or two and some mince pies
He's really not that much of a Neanderthal

He likes his cakes and a mince pie or two
And if I don't watch he'll eat the blooming lot
There will be mulled wine he likes the way I do
With orange rind cinnamon sticks & star anise 

Then I'll add a touch of Port and Rum too
Then a touch of Drambuie, that's nice says he
And if he doesn't watch it'll blow his socks off too
Always have the music on whilst working

Vivaldi's playing the four seasons on and on
And Beethoven 5Th symphony wow!
Some powerful sound lifting me high putting me down
By the time Christmases is upon us I'll be cockeyed

In need, I know not what...
A rest I guess would be good
So welcome my friends
Yah life's good...
