[Verse 1]
I Bmknew of two sisters whose nAame it was DChristmas,
And Aone was namedB Dawn of course, the Bmother Aone was named DEve. F#
I Bmwonder if they grew up Ahating the Dseason,
The Agood will that Bmlasts til the AFeast of St. DStephen
For Dthat is the Bmtime to eat, Adrink, and be Dmerry,
Til the Gbeer is all Dspilled and the Awhiskey has Dflowed.
And the Dwhole family Bmtree you neAglected to Dbury,
Are Gfeeding their Dfaces untEmil they eF#xplode.
[Chorus]
There'll be Bmlaughter and Atears over GTia MarAias,
Mixed Dup with thatBm drink made from Agirders.
Cause it's Bmall we've got Aleft as theyG draw their last Abreath,
Ah, it's Dnice for the Akids, as you Gfinally get Bmrid of them,
GIn the St SDtephen's Day AMurDders.
[Verse 2]
BmUncle is garglin' a Aheart-breaking Dair,
While the Ababe in his Barms pulls out all Bmthat reAmains of his Dhair. F#
And we'reBm not drunk enough yet to Adare critiDcize,
The great Abig kipper Bmtie he's aAbout to bapDtize.
With his Dgin-flavored Bmwhiskers and kAisses of shDerry,
His bGest Chrimbo Dshirt slung out Aover the Dshop.
While the Dlights from the BmChristmas tree bAlow up the tDelly,
His Gface closes Din like an Emold cold pork F#chop.
[Chorus 2]
And the Bmcarcass of the Abeast left Gover from the Afeast,
May sDtill be found Bmhaunting the Akitchen.
And there's Bmlife in it Ayet, we may Glive to rAegret,
When the Dones that weBm poisoned stop Atwitchin'.
[Chorus 1]
There'll be Bmlaughter and Atears over GTia MariAas,
Mixed Dup with that Bmdrink made from Agirders.
Cause it's Bmall we've got Aleft as they Gdraw their last Abreath,
Ah, it's Dnice for the Akids, as you Gfinally get Bmrid of them,(RID OF THEM!)
GIn the St SDtephen's Day AMurdDers.
