Christmas Comes But Once a Year
On the road the frost is glistnin', free the street from midnight mass Friendly candles glow in windows; strangers greet you as you pass Home then to the laden table; ham and goose and pints of beer Whiskey handed 'round in tumblers:Christmas comes but once a year
Puddings made with eggs and treakles, seeded raisins and ground suet Sift the bread crumbs and mixed spices, grated rind and plenty fruit Cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg, porter, brandy and old ale Don't forget the wine and whiskey: Christmas comes but once a year
Women fussing in the kitchen, layin' the food on every plate Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Men are patient in the hallway gulpin' porter while they wait All cares are put for tomorrow; now's the time to spread good cheer Pass the punch around the table: Christmas comes but once a year
When at last the day's complete and all the family's gone away Santa's come and left his treats for us to find on Christmas day Never was there such a rollick; wasn't it grand to have yous here Now I'm sad and melancholic: Christmas comes but once a year
