Christmas Dinner
Now there's a big fat turkey, or maybe a ham
Brown fluffy biscuits all covered with jam
Blackberry, huckleberry, mince and pumpkin pies
If you don't watch out you're gonna double your size
Mommy's in the kitchen and Daddy's at the tree
Little boys and girls all shouting with glee
Granny sets the table, everyone's in place
When she says "Come and get it"
You really see a race
Look at the giblet gravy (ummm-hmmm)
And the big brown drumstick (ummm-hmmm)
Daddy says don't get the tummy ache
Here comes your mother with a big fruit cake
There's a floating custard and pudding too
Oodles and oodles for me and you
I'll say one thing and you must agree
What a happy, happy time Christmas dinner can be
Look at the giblet gravy (ummm-hmmm)
And the big brown drumstick (ummm-hmmm)
Daddy says don't get the tummy ache
Here comes your mother with a big fruit cake
There's a floating custard and pudding too
Oodles and oodles for me and you
I'll say one thing and you must agree
What a happy happy time Christmas dinner will be
Now we're all together, what a bountiful fare
Mother sits down next to baby's highchair
Daddy folds his hands and bows his head
Let's all give thanks for the blessings we have
