A Christmas Song - 2024 Remix Songtext
von Jethro Tull

Okay, here we are, back in the Zurich Sports Hall
Down in the dressing room with the dressing room tapes
And David Pegg on mandolin, Martin Barr on acoustic guitar
Me doing the other stuff, and an early seasonal greeting
To you all as we revisit a Christmas song
Two, three, four


Once in Royal David′s City
Stood a lonely cattle shed
Where a mother laid her Baby
You'd do well to remember the things he later said

When you′re stuffing yourselves at the Christmas parties
You'll laugh when I tell you to take a running jump
And you're missing the point, I′m sure does not need making
That Christmas spirit is not what you drink

So how can you eat 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
