Roll out the Christmas lighting
And string them right across the street
This year we won't hold back
We'll light up this town yeah there's no backing down now
Break out the decorations
And get old frosty on the roof
Five miles of extension cables
Yeah we'll light up this place till they see us from outer space
So put up your tree and hang your mistletoe
And watch the whole community in unity together in the snow
Cause what better time to pull together lay our problems down
Than at Christmas time together
We can light up this town
Go grab those cardboard boxes
That you kept in the attic all these months
It's time to greet old friends
Who decided that bauble would look good? It's awful
But press on, we've almost done it
As the neighbour with the sleigh bells hangs them on his car bonnet
And the lady with her cats attaches antlers to their heads
And everyone's on their front lawn
To see the light turn on
So put up your tree and hang your mistletoe
And watch the whole community in unity together in the snow
Cause what better time to pull together lay our problems down
Than at Christmas time together
We can light up this town
Same old songs on the radio
We all sing along with the ones we know
Carolers go door to door, they think that they can sing
But all I want for Christmas is for them to pack it in
And the father of the family of nine comes crashing in
With his millions of veg and massive overpriced chicken
And the kids are all excited in their brand new Christmas jams
They invited me for dinner but I told them I had plans
So put up your tree and hang your mistletoe
And watch the whole community in unity together in the snow
Cause what better time to pull together lay our problems down
Than at Christmas time together
We can light up this town
So put up your tree and hang your mistletoe
And watch the whole community in unity together in the snow
Cause what better time to pull together lay our problems down
Than at Christmas time together
We can light up this town
