Lyrics

“Christmas is Over” (A. Woodley)

We’ve taken all the tinsel from the branches
The silver balls are lyin’ on the floor
The fairy lights that shone on our verandah
Are packed away and walking out the door
Into the silent night
Warm and bright
And the waiting arms of the law

And Christmas is over
Over and gone
Christmas is over
And we gotta
Move on

Smiling happy faces round the table
Turkey roast and puddin’s on the way
Jazz caps and bon-bons, Aunty Mabel
Your custard is the finest, we all say
The rhubarb stew was perfect
Not too bitter, not too sweet
Sheriff says its time to go
And walks us to the street

and Christmas is over
Over and gone
Christmas is over
And we gotta
Move on

New Year’s Eve the fireworks
Exploded in the sky
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
We travel down life’s highway
Day to day and year to year
The love we give the love we take the laughter and the tears
The laughter and the tears
The laughter and the tears

And Christmas is over
Over Red Rover
Christmas is over

And we gotta move on
Christmas is over
Over my friend
Christmas is over
‘til Christmas comes again

New Year’s Eve the fireworks
Exploded in the sky
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
We travel down life’s highway
Day to day and year to year
The love we give the love we take the laughter and the tears
The laughter and the tears
The laughter and the tears

And Christmas is over
Over Red Rover
Christmas is over
And we gotta move on
Christmas is over
Over my friend
Christmas is over
‘til Christmas comes again

Starlight, star bright,
First star I see tonight
Starlight, star bright
First star I see tonight
Star light. Star bright
First star I see tonight, see tonigvht, see tonight see tonight

And Christmas is over
Over my friend
Christmas is over
‘til Christmas
comes
again
