Yellin' at the Xmas Tree Songtext
von Billy Idol

When I was a small boy here in London town
Seasons snow was fallin′ on the ground
All the friends and family here on Christmas Eve
Gather 'round to dress the Christmas tree
But daddy′s down at the pub, full of Christmas cheer
Probably won't come home until next year

Oh, the Christmas bells are ringin'
And the carolers are singin′
But Daddy, he don′t hear 'em
He′s yellin' at the Christmas tree
Santa′s balls are jinglin'
Mommy′s hips a-wigglin'
But Daddy, he don't hear ′em
He′s yellin', he′s yellin' at the Christmas tree

All right now, yeah
Hmm, hmm, hmm


Uncle is a sports fan, granny likes a joke
But no one laughs when Daddy stumbles home
But he don′t fall asleep
Whoa, the night was gettin' black
You see, oh God, Dad had too much Jack
Oh Lord!

Every year is the same old thing like Rudolph′s red nose
Tellin' this story never will get old

Oh, the Christmas bells are ringin'
And the carolers are singin′
But Daddy, he don′t hear 'em
He′s yellin' at the Christmas tree
Santa′s balls are jinglin'
Mommy′s hips a-wigglin'
But Daddy, he don't hear ′em
He′s yellin', he′s yellin' at the Christmas tree

Well, alright now, yeah
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Well, alright now
Yellin′ at the Christmas tree

Santa came down the chimney but then he ran upstairs
Jumped in bed with mommy, she didn't care
Across the room went the fruitcake
Ah, the wreath came off the door
If these are holidays, I can take no more


Every year, it′s the same old thing like Rudolph's red nose
Hearing this story never will get old

Oh, the Christmas bells are ringin'
And the carolers are singin′
But Daddy, he don′t hear 'em
He′s yellin' at the Christmas tree
Santa′s balls are jinglin'
Mommy′s hips a-wigglin'
But Daddy, he don't hear ′em
He′s yellin' at the Christmas tree

Santa′s balls are jinglin'
Mommy′s hips a-wigglin'
But Daddy, he don′t hear 'em
He's yellin′, he′s yellin' at the Christmas tree

Well, alright now, yeah
Hmm, hmm, hmm

He′s yellin' at the Christmas tree
He′s yellin' at the Christmas tree
He′s yellin' at the Christmas tree
He's sleepin′ in the Christmas tree, yeah
