Lyrics:

(Vic Godard cover)

we can have a day to remember
forget about mid-December
bring about a change of weather

chorus
it's such fun to hear children singing
the Church is full and the bells are ringing
open your hearts and sing a holiday hymn

(alt version:
it's such fun to hear the women singing
the Church is full and the bells are ringing
lay down the crocks and the dirty linen
sing a holiday hymn)

when everybody's cold and tired
there'll be a great log fire
today they won't chastise the liars

chorus

sing sing sing sing sing

today all the girls will recite Jean-Jacques Rousseau
today all the girls will see our fire begin to glow
today all the girls will hear the sinners groan
with a smile on your face, a tear in your eye
i know that you know. i want you to let me go
your eyes could melt the snow

everybody's cold and tired
we'll build a great log fire
today's the day they won't chastise the liars

chorus
