Jethro Tull - Pa** the Bottle lyrics

Once in Royal David's City Stood a lowly cattle shed Where a mother laid her baby You'd do well to remember the things He later said When you're stuffing yourselves at the Christmas parties You'll just laugh when I tell you to take a running jump You're missing the point I'm sure does not need making The Christmas spirit is not what you drink So how can you laugh when your own mother's hungry? And how can you smile when the reasons for smiling are wrong? And if I just messed up your thoughtless pleasures Remember, if you wish, this is just a Christmas song Hey Santa, pa** us that bottle, will you?
