+====== There Are No Lights On Our Christmas Tree ======
+by Cyril Tawney
+The time has come for festivity
+For Christmas pudding and revelry
+But as I passed out the other night
+I heard a small voice next to me:
+**Chorus:**
+//There are no lights on our Christmas tree
+We must not spoil the telly-vee
+No party games, no mistletoe
+Just whistle "Wenceslas", and out you go.//
+'Bout once a year I become a square
+I love to feel the tinsel in my hair
+I love to hear the songs of days gone by
+But dad and me we don't see eye-to-eye.
+[//Chorus//]
+The Christmas crackers from Uncle Alf
+They lie unopened upon the shelf
+Dad has forbid them but we're hoping he
+Won't notice one more bang in Laramy.
+[//Chorus//]
+Some carol singers came to our door-
+I've never seen dad so mad before.
+He grabbed the leader by the coat
+And tried to ram his lantern down his throat.
+[//Chorus//]
+When I grow up and become a man
+There'll be no television in my plan
+With laughter gay my house will ring
+I never want to hear my children sing:
+[//Chorus//]
