Lyrics

Christmas Eve, the lights went out That don't really help the situation She grabbed his coat and kicked him out Some angel had been praying for salvation Cats don't believe in Santa Claus, spayed and declawed It's not me you're deceiving And peace and love is all around At this time of the season You knew I'd been with dirty dogs and kissed some frogs You knew how I was feeling Underneath the mistletoe and stars, you know you set my senses reeling In your embrace I found my place Outside it's freezing I will love you most of all At this time of the season I tracked you down to London town Met you at the station Kings Cross by the east coast line Wanted to explain the situation Duty calls with ties that bind I know you have your reasons We all do what we have to do At this time of the season I dreamed of you in Birmingham, we had no plan That's what really made it That Christmas song by Boney M The deejay at the local station played it You took a job in Zanzibar I did my Christmas shopping I thought about you all the way On my Atlantic crossing Spoke with you in Amsterdam Said if we stand a chance, we should take it The red lights and the coffee stands Said if we're feeling love then we should make it Like a child I gave my heart Now why do you have to break it? If there's sense inside that head of yours Well, now's the time to wake it Baby, in a manger cries And men who're wise Well seeing is believing No pantomime, no alibi The joker in the pack is always dealing If loving someone is a crime then strike me down Within the spell, I'm weaving And pair me with the circus clown At this time of the season
