Christmas Is Coming
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Christmas Is Coming" is a nursery rhyme and Christmas carol (frequently sung as a round) with lyrics as follows:
- Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat
- Please put a penny in the old man's hat
- If you haven't got a penny, a ha'penny will do
- If you haven't got a ha'penny, a farthing will do
- If you haven't got a farthing, then God bless you!
This became the basis for Bing Crosby's song "Christmas Is a-Comin'", which contains these lyrics as follows:
- When I'm feeling blue, when I'm feeling low,
- I start to think about the happiest man I know.
- Now he doesn't mind the snow, he doesn't mind the rain,
- But all December you will hear him at your window pane,
- Singing again and again and again and again and again:
- Christmas is a coming and the bells begin to ring,
- The holly's in the window and the birds begin to sing.
- I don't need to worry, and I don't need to fret,
- And the more you give at Christmastime the more you get.
- God bless you, gentlemen, God bless you!
- The more you give at Christmastime the more you get.
- Christmas is a coming, the egg's in the nog.
- Please give a friendly man a friendly little dog.
- If you haven't got a friendly dog, a friendly cat will do,
- If you haven't got a friendly cat may God bless you!
- God bless you, gentlemen, God bless you!
- If you haven't got a friendly cat may God bless you!
- Christmas is a coming, the lights are on the tree.
- How about a turkey leg for dear old me?
- If you haven't got a turkey leg, a turkey wing will do.
- If you haven't got a turkey wing may God bless you!
- God bless you, gentlemen, God bless you!
- If you haven't got a turkey wing may God bless you!
- Christmas is a coming, the cider's in the keg.
- If I had a mug of cider I wouldn't have to beg.
- If you haven't got a mug of cider, half a mug will do.
- If you haven't got half a mug, may God bless you!
- God bless you, gentlemen, God bless you!
- If you haven't got half a mug, may God bless you!
- If you haven't got a thing for me, may God bless you!
