I Fell in Love on the Northern Line
Blame It On The Babby by John Shaw
Christmas makes so many crabby
Whose fault is that?; blame the babby
"Telly's no good"; it's the usual reason
It's all because of the Festive Season
Credit for Christmas, the banks proclaim
Huge charges and interest is their aim
' Obscene Christmas bonuses for the City big spenders
As we celebrate Him, who threw out moneylenders
Stores need two months to mark the Christian feast
To sell electronics, Buddhists make in the East
Deep in debt, who can we blame?
Put it down to the day Jesus came!
Christmas Eve reserved for our worst behaviour
Tomorrow's the birth day of our blessed Saviour
Boys drink and drink until they spew
"Well, it's Christmas, in't it?" - right on cue
Office parties, a trap for the unwary
It's Joseph's fault, and that virtuous Mary
"Come on it's Christmas," he says, beginning to grope
Her present: a baby, no dreams, no hope
Churches desperate for a bigger congregation
Come up with an idea to entice the nation
Baby Jesus is special, but he ain't that cute
Put Him on a Christmas card in a Santa suit!
These market moulded midgets may have a price to pay
If, in sombre robes, He faces them on Judgment Day
If you believe in Mohammed, or Hindu gods hold sway
It would be sacrilege to treat your Lord this way
Blamed for his Mass, and left in the lurch
It's a time for the shops, not for the Church
Is the message of Christmas like a dead bulb on the tree?
A false wonderland and a big shopping spree?
Probably - but the message of Jesus can still be seen
In volunteers working with the sick and unclean
In families re-united at the festive table
In little ones acting out the birth in the stable
If you are a true believern have no fears
Good will has grown over these 2,000 years.
