We've got chestnuts on the fire
Got our gifts around the tree
Hear the sleigh bells on the radio
Come watch 'Strictly' on TV
We'll have grandma round for dinner
Have the cousins round for tea
But what's that got to do with Christmas?
Got our turkey on the table
But now grandma's gone to sleep
So there's mother in the kitchen
Getting stressed and fit to weep
Got our sixpence for the pudding
Got our ginger bread for tea
But what's that got to do with Christmas?
So does it snow in Bethlehem?
Do reindeer really fly?
Was Santa Claus in business then?
It makes you wanna cry!
What's that got to do with Christmas?
At the concert hall, Tchaikovsky
At the panto, 'Puss in Boots'
On the streets the sound of carols
All around the neighbourhood
Like "O Come Let Us Adore Him!"
But have they understood
What that's got to do with Christmas?
Does holly grow in Bethlehem?
Does tinsel grow on trees?
Did Mary put a stocking by the manger? Please!
What's that got to do with Christmas?
If wise men once sought Jesus
Shouldn't wise men seek Him still?
Or was His birth in Bethlehem just seasonal goodwill?
What's that got to do
What's that got to do
What's that got to do with Christmas?
