Nothing is new, I know what we'll do at Christmas I'm happy to say, we'll spend it the same old way The family and friends will meet up again at Christmas Though nothing is new, it still is a special day Get the kids to bed on Christmas Eve, watch the special on TV Check the lights upon the Christmas tree, oh, it's good to be a family It seems there's no end to the money we spend at Christmas With so many friends, it seems to cost more each year But we'll never change, and why rearrange the day that we love so dear And though we complain, we'll do it again next year It seems there's no end to the money we spend at Christmas With so many friends, it seems to cost more each year But we'll never change, and why rearrange the day that we love so dear And though we complain, we'll do it again next year And a new yacht for Jill, Cyril's cigar, and Colin's new car Oh, and a small goose for Bruce, and last year's mince pies for Morecambe and Wise
