[Verse 1]
Let's get this Christmas over with
How I miss the summer wind
Let's get the tinsel in
Mistletoe so we can kiss
Maybe I've no business here
I'm sick of sweaters every year
Hide beneath the snow
"Tis the season," I shall moan

[Chorus]
So you'll find me by the fire with your sister
'Cause it's gonna be a cold, cold winter

[Verse 2]
There'll be no rejoicing at this rate
Where's thе end of this Sellotape?
As thе needles drop
Is there a present you forgot?
I need a gift to give to you
I found a pricey pair of shoes
If you don't like them, then it's sweet
I kept hold of the receipt

[Chorus]
You won't find me singing carols with your sister
'Cause it's gonna be a cold, cold winter
[Bridge]
Believe me, I've tried (sha la la la)
Oh, I've tried (sha la la la)
No toys, no trees, no trimmings won't change my mind

[Verse 3]
It's December 24th
Write the cards, deck the halls
I've been thinking
Shall we put the turkey in?

[Chorus]
So if you find me on holiday with your sister
It won't be a cold, cold winter
A cold, cold winter (a cold, cold winter)
A cold, cold winter (a cold, cold winter)
