Verse
Bm A D
I knew of two sisters whose name it was Christmas,
A B Bm A D F#
And one was named Dawn of course, the other one was named Eve.
Bm A D
I wonder if they grew up hating the season,
A Bm A D
The good will that lasts til the Feast of St. Stephen
D Bm A D
For that is the time to eat, drink, and be merry,
G D A D
Til the beer is all spilled and the whiskey has flowed.
D Bm A D
And the whole family tree you neglected to bury,
G D Em F#
Are feeding their faces until they explode.
[Chorus]
Bm A G A
There'll be laughter and tears over Tia Marias,
D Bm A
Mixed up with that drink made from girders.
Bm A G A
Cause it's all we've got left as they draw their last breath,
D A G Bm
Ah, it's nice for the kids, as you finally get rid of them,
G D A D
In the St Stephen's Day Murders.
[Verse 2]
Bm A D
Uncle is garglin' a heart-breaking air,
A B Bm A D F#
While the babe in his arms pulls out all that remains of his hair.
Bm A D
And we're not drunk enough yet to dare criticize,
A Bm A D
The great big kipper tie he's about to baptize.
D Bm A D
With his gin-flavored whiskers and kisses of sherry,
G D A D
His best Chrimbo shirt slung out over the shop.
D Bm A D
While the lights from the Christmas tree blow up the telly,
G D Em F#
His face closes in like an old cold pork chop.
[Chorus 2]
Bm A G A
And the carcass of the beast left over from the feast,
D Bm A
May still be found haunting the kitchen.
Bm A G A
And there's life in it yet, we may live to regret,
D Bm A
When the ones that we poisoned stop twitchin'.
[Chorus 1]
Bm A G A
There'll be laughter and tears over Tia Marias,
D Bm A
Mixed up with that drink made from girders.
Bm A G A
Cause it's all we've got left as they draw their last breath,
D A G Bm
Ah, it's nice for the kids, as you finally get rid of them,(RID OF THEM!)
G D A D
In the St Stephen's Day Murders.
