[B]
On the road the frost is twisting, people stream from midnight mass.
Friendly candles glow in windows, strangers greet you as you pass.
Home then to the maiden table, ham and croaks and pints of beer.
Whiskey handed around in tumblers, Christmas comes but [Bm] once a year.
[B] [Bm]
Woolies, maple, eggs and treacle, cedar, raisins and brown suet.
Sifted breadcrumbs and mixed spices, grated [B] rye and plenty fruit.
Cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg, portobandi and oleive.
Don't forget the wine and whiskey, Christmas comes but once a [Bm] year.
[Bm]
[B]
Nenty fussing in the kitchen, lay the food on every plate.
Men impatient in the hallway, gulping [B] clarker while they wait.
Who cares if there's no tomorrow, [Bm] now's the time to spread good cheer.
[B] Pass the puncher on the table, Christmas comes but once a year.
Who cares if there's no tomorrow, now's the time to spread good cheer.
Pass the puncher on the table, [F#] Christmas comes but once [B] a year.
