Oh, Christmas Day is here again!
Hooray, hooray, hooray,
There'll be lots of fun and parties
And visitors to stay.
And I love the noise and bustle,
And the extra food as well,
With lots of toys to play with
And a Christmas tree to smell.
But
it's all over too quickly
And a year must pass - oh well
I'll have to wait for many days
For December's magic spell.

No I really don't like Christmas
When everything's so fraught.
And people come and people go,
And they're often not my sort.
There are toys I mustn't play with
And things I mustn't eat,
And trees inside are not the same
As those out in the street.
But
worst of all there's crackers
Of which I'm really scared,
You should shut me in your bedroom
If you really thought, or cared.

I thought I had a lovely home,
How wrong could I have been,
I was a Christmas present
But my owners weren't too keen.
One
day they went out visiting
And took me in the car,
I thought I was going with them
But I didn't get too far
I
was thrown out of a window
On a noisy motorway,
And although I tried to catch them
They didn't look or stay.
So I
don't think much of Christmas
It's no fun without a home,
I don't know what will happen
Now I've nowhere of my own.
