Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Released as a UK B-side in November, 1973
Sitting here on Christmas Eve with a brandy in my hand
Oh I`ve had a few too many and it`s getting hard to stand
I keep hearing noises from my fireplace
I must be going crazy or the brandy`s won the race
And I keep hearing ho ho ho, guess who`s here
Your fat and jolly friend draws near
Ho ho ho, surprise, surprise
The bearded weirdy`s just arrived
Ho ho ho, guess who`s here
Your fat and jolly friend draws near
Ho ho ho, surprise surprise
The bearded wierdy`s just arrived
On my roof there`s snorting sounds, and bells inside my head
My vision`s blurred with colour, and all he sees is red
There`s a pair of large sized wellies coming down my flue
And the smell of burning rubber, oh is filling up the room
