Have you sold the NHS to all your mates Overtaxed the poor and axed their interest rates Have you lined all of your pockets Put a tonne in a Swiss bank While the whole thing stinks just like a septic tank So here it is Merry Christmas, everybody's looking glum Where is our future now? You've sold it to your chums While you're waiting for the families to starve Are you trying to cut that deficit in half? While me granny's sat theer freezin Her fuel allowance has been axed You'll be sat in your huge house, warm and relaxed So here it is Merry Christmas, everybody's had enough There is no future now, like turkeys, we've been stuffed What would old Maggie do Probably snatch the milk left out for Santa Claus ahaaaaa haaa There's no hanging up a stocking on your wall When your Christmas Dinner comes from a food-hall While they're frackin' on hillside There are millions unemployed While the poor stay poor, the rich stay overjoyed So here it is Merry Christmas, everybody’s strapped for cash In the Bleak Mid-Winter, public spending has been slashed So here it is Merry Christmas, Christmas cheer is looking sparse Where are Midge and Geldof, now the pound is on its arse? So now your Christmas is cancelled Cos the there's no-one having fun Look to the future now… they've only just begun

Wake up, little Susie, wake up Wake up, little Susie, wake up We've both been sound asleep, wake up, little Susie, and weep The movie's over, it's four o'clock, and we're in trouble deep Wake up little Susie Wake up little Susie, well Whatta we gonna tell your mama Whatta we gonna tell your pa Whatta we gonna tell our friends when they say, "ooh-la-laâ" Wake up little Susie Wake up little Susie, well I told your mama that you'd be in by ten Well Susie baby looks like we goofed again Wake up little Susie Wake up little Susie, we gotta go home Wake up, little Susie, wake up Wake up, little Susie, wake up The movie wasn't so hot, it didn't have much of a plot We fell asleep, our goose is cooked, our reputation is shot Wake up little Susie Wake up little Susie, well Whatta we gonna tell your mama Whatta we gonna tell your pa Whatta we gonna tell our friends when they say, "ooh-la-laâ" Wake up little Susie Wake up little Susie Wake up little Susie

When they’re camped out in the snow Outside the Asda or Tesco I despair for the future of the human race ‘cos by night it should be quiet But by midnight it’s a riot They’ll brek darn the doors to mek damn sure that they’re first in line today Well I’m glad it’s not Black Friday every day When the chavs are feightin for a flat-screen on display Oh I’m glad it’s not Black Friday every day Why don’t you shop online this Christmas? When it’s rammed in Marks and Sparks I think “Stuff this for a lark!” I would much rather take me chances with eBay Have you forgotten festive cheer? Don’t stab a shopper, grab a beer You can shove this farce right up yer arse until after Boxing Day! Well I’m glad it’s not Black Friday every day Just remember we’re in Britain this is not the USA Oh I’m glad it’s not Black Friday every day Don’t punch a stranger out this Christmas? So if you’re fighting to the front For an X-Box you’re a chuff Who is more sadistic than 50 Shades Of Grey ‘cos when Santa brings his sleigh Around for Jesus’ birthday You find the kids toys were broken in the fight to the checkout on the way Well I’m glad it’s not Black Friday every day I can leave the Frozen boxset for a tenner for another day Oh I’m glad it’s not Black Friday every day I’m gonna stay in me house til Christmas Well I’m glad it’s not Black Friday every day It’s even more ridiculous than Donald Trump’s toupee Oh I’m glad it’s not Black Friday every day What the hell went wrong with Christmas? Why don't you think it through this Christmas?

The Devil went darn to Barnsley Tarn He war lookin' for a soul to steal. He war in a bind 'cos he war way behind And he war willin' to mek a deal When he came across this young ’un Laikin’ on t’fiddle and playin’ shit ‘ot. Well the Devil jumped up like a big daft lump, he said, "Ey up, I’ll tell thee what. I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player, too. And if you'd care, to tek a dare, I'll mek a bet with you. Now, you play pretty good fiddle, lad, but I’m gunna mek thee see. I'll bet a fiddle of gold against yer soul, ‘Coz I think I'm better than thee." The lad said, "My name's Björn, and it might be a sin. But I'll take your bet, you big red get 'Coz I'm t’best that's ever bin!" Björn you better get yer bow and play your fiddle hard, 'Coz hell's brok loose in Barnsley Tarn and t’Devil deals the cards. And if you win you get this shiny fiddle med of gold. But if you lose, the Devil gets yer soul. The Devil got his fiddle and he said, "Reight, off we go!" And fire flew from his fingertips and he put on quite a show And then he brought in Graham from Saxon, and Maartin Allcock as well Eliza Carthy on fiddle, they din’t act civil No, they rocked like chuffin' hell! When the Devil finished, Björn just said, "Thar pretty good, t’old lad, But sit darn ovver theer for a bit and I’ll mek thee look reight bad.” A Doonican frum Sweden livin’ in t‘Tarn I’ll show you what’s t’crack, I’m t’best ararnd T’Devil’s goin’ darn ‘coz he’s Number 1 Playing them hits with The Bar-Steward Sons The Devil bowed his head because he knew that he’d bin beat. And he laid that golden fiddle on’t ground at Björn’s feet. Björn said, "Devil, just come on back if thy ivver wants to try ageeain. 'Cos I told you once, you big daft chuff, I'm t’best that’s ever bin!" A Doonican frum Sweden livin’ in t‘Tarn I’ll show you what’s t’crack, I’m t’best ararnd T’Devil’s goin’ darn ‘coz he’s Number 1 Playing them hits with The Bar-Steward Sons
