This Time of the Year

And the story goes That a baby was born On the 25th December A long time ago In a far away place And they worship him still At this time of year But for me I'm missing you Every day I do There's a funny old fat guy Who visits your house When everyone's sleeping As quiet as a mouse He climbs down your chimney And drinks all your beer At this time of year But for me I'm missing you Every day I do I wish you were here mum It's that time of year mum When you had to leave us You never liked Christmas I look in the mirror I swear I can see ya Not just in December I'll always remember There's a Paul Kelly song 'Bout a prisoner named Joe Who's missing his family And wishing that he could go Home to make gravy 'Cause he always does At this time of year But for me I'm missing you Every day I do Every day Not just this time of the year
