Did you load all the gifts into the car?
Who’s got the pie? Can you fit my guitar?
An hour of driving down Route 28
The snow might make us a little bit late
but the radio’s playin’ a jolly good song
and everybody’s singin’ along..
It's a cold December day
Everybody’s right where they should be
Brought my guitar to play
So pick up the melody
When we arrive they all say hello
and come out to greet us in spite of the snow
All the pretty decorations and the lights on the tree
In every corner there’s something to see..
It's a cold December day
Everybody’s right where they should be
Brought my guitar to play
So sing along with me
Everyone’s happy and joyful today
Everyone’s worries are miles away
Those who can’t be here are with us in spirit
If we just sing loud enough for them to hear it..
Laughin’ with the family, singin’ like a choir
Grandad in the armchair, sittin’ by the fire
Same cookin’ as last year and all the same faces
and the same old wish we lived in closer places..
It's a cold December day
Everybody’s right where they should be
Brought my guitar to play
So sing along with me
