lyrics
Out in the White Chapel slums all the bums
warm their hearts on stolen sherry.
They're singing songs and taking slugs from the mug,
singing: Fa-la-la-la-la, Merry, Merry.
Inside the walls of St. Paul's father calls
out a hymn for the meek and wary.
The Father, the ghost, the son and his mum
singing: Amen, Mary, Mary.
Over the pond all the Yanks giving thanks
leave the shops with all they can carry.
After the malls all the Pa's dressed as Claus
bellow: Ho Ho Jolly Ho, Merry Merry.
Up in the steeples ringing bells
are tolling from Poland to Israel
where they burn the candles 8 long days & holy nights.
Saudis feasting on their halal,
Eid ul-fitr, praise be Allah!
All is well when the world is full of love and light -
but there won't be snow in Africa ... ever.
Back in the White Chapel slums all the bums
polish off their frozen sherry.
They'll close their eyes and drift away as they sway
singing: Fa-la-la-la-la, Merry, Merry.
Fa-la-la-la-la - Merry, Merry.
warm their hearts on stolen sherry.
They're singing songs and taking slugs from the mug,
singing: Fa-la-la-la-la, Merry, Merry.
Inside the walls of St. Paul's father calls
out a hymn for the meek and wary.
The Father, the ghost, the son and his mum
singing: Amen, Mary, Mary.
Over the pond all the Yanks giving thanks
leave the shops with all they can carry.
After the malls all the Pa's dressed as Claus
bellow: Ho Ho Jolly Ho, Merry Merry.
Up in the steeples ringing bells
are tolling from Poland to Israel
where they burn the candles 8 long days & holy nights.
Saudis feasting on their halal,
Eid ul-fitr, praise be Allah!
All is well when the world is full of love and light -
but there won't be snow in Africa ... ever.
Back in the White Chapel slums all the bums
polish off their frozen sherry.
They'll close their eyes and drift away as they sway
singing: Fa-la-la-la-la, Merry, Merry.
Fa-la-la-la-la - Merry, Merry.
