The time has come for festivity, For party games and revelry; As I passed a house just the other night I heard this little voice, so clear and bright. There are no lights on our Christmas tree; We must not spoil the tele-vee. No party games, no mistletoe; Just whistle "Wenceslas, " and out you go. Just once a year I like to be a square; I love to feel the tinsel in my hair. I love to hear the songs of days gone by; But Dad and I, we don't see eye to eye. A box of crackers from Uncle Alf, Lie unopened upon the shelf. Dad has forbidden, but we hope that he Wont notice one more bang on ITV Some Carol Singers came to our door; I've never seen my Dad, so mad before. He grabbed the leader by his coat, And kicked his lantern back to their Float. THERE ARE NO LIGHTS
