Píseň: A Christmas Song

The Jethro Tull Christmas Album
Once in Royal David's City 
stood a lonely cattle shed,
where a mother held her baby.
You'd do well to remember 
the things He later said.
When you're stuffing yourselves 
at the Christmas parties,
you'll just laugh 
when I tell you to take a running jump.
You're missing the point 
I'm sure does not need making;
that Christmas spirit 
is not what you drink.


So how can you laugh 
when your own mother's hungry
and how can you smile 
when the reasons for smiling are wrong?
And if I just messed up 
your thoughtless pleasures,
remember, if you wish, 
this is just a Christmas song.


Hey, Santa... pass us that bottle, will you?
