DON’T BE LATE FOR CHRISTMAS

IT’S NOT LIKE IT CAUGHT US BY SURPRISE
THE FALLING LEAVES REMIND US HOW TIME FLIES

THE JOLLY MAN WHO LIVES UP NORTH
MAY FLY IN LATE THE TWENTY FORTH
BUT THE SLEIGH WAS PACKED WAY BACK IN JULY

(chorus)
DON’T BE LATE FOR CHRISTMAS
CHRISTMAS WILL NOT WAIT
THE HOLIDAY IS ALMOST WITH US
AND WE CAN’T CHANGE THE DATE
SUMMER TURNS INTO SEPTEMBER
SUDDENLY ITS MID-DECEMBER
WE’RE SO BAD AT THIS
FOR GOODNESS SAKE
DON’T BE LATE FOR CHRISTMAS

WE SWEAR THE SAME THING EVERY YEAR
WE’RE GONNA GET THE JUMP ON JOY AND CHEER

SO HERE’ S A USEFUL CHRISTMAS TIP
BEFORE THE TEMPERATURE STARTS TO DIP
PICK THE PARTIES YOU WILL SKIP THIS YEAR

REPEAT CHORUS

(bridge)
SO JUST SLOW IT DOWN
BREATHE THE WONDER IN
IT’S ONLY HERE FOR NOW
THEN SOON ITS GONE
JUST LIKE THE DAWN
IT DISAPPEARS AND
COMES RIGHT BACK AGAIN


REPEAT CHORUS

TRUST ME I CAN CONFIRM
THE EARLY BIRD GETS THE WORM
