Lyrics

(Oh, lovely it is
I love the vocal talent)
Sittin' here on Christmas Eve with a brandy in my hand
Oh, I've had a few too many and it's gettin' hard to stand
I keep hearin' noises from my fireplace
I must be goin' crazy or the brandy's won the race
And I keep hearin'
Ho! Ho! Ho! Guess who's here?
Your fat and jolly friend draws near
Ho! Ho! Ho! Surprise, surprise
The bearded weirdy's just arrived
Ho! Ho! Ho! Guess who's here?
Your fat and jolly friend draws near
Ho! Ho! Ho! Surprise, surprise
The bearded weirdy's just arrived
On my roof there's snorting sounds and bells inside my head
My vision's blurred with color and all I see is red (all he see is red)
There's a pair of large sized wellies (Wellies!) That's coming down my flue
And the smell of burnin' rubber, oh, it's fillin' up the room
And I keep hearin' (five, six, seve, eight)
Ho! Ho! Ho! Guess who's here?
Your fat and jolly friend draws near
Ho! Ho! Ho! Surprise, surprise
The bearded weirdy's just arrived
Ho! Ho! Ho! Guess who's here?
Your fat and jolly friend draws near
Ho! Ho! Ho! Surprise, surprise
The bearded weirdy's just arrived
And here he comes now
And we keep hearin'
Ho! Ho! Ho! Guess who's here?
Your fat and jolly friend draws near
Ho! Ho! Ho! Surprise, surprise
The bearded weirdy's just arrived
Ho! Ho! Ho! Guess who's here?
Your fat and jolly friend draws near
Ho! Ho! Ho! Surprise, surprise
The bearded weirdy's just arrived
Ho! Ho! Ho! Guess who's here?
Your fat and jolly friend draws near
Ho! Ho! Ho! Surprise, surprise
The bearded weirdy's just arrived
Ho! Ho! Ho! He! He! He!
What frivolity for me
Ho! Ho! Ho! Surprise, surprise
The bearded weirdy's just arrived
Ho! Ho! Ho! Guess who's here? (Happy Christmas, everybody)
Your fat and jolly friend draws near
Ho! Ho! Ho! Surprise, surprise
The bearded weirdy's just arrived
Ho! Ho! Ho! Guess who's here?
Your fat and jolly friend draws near...
