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