Lyric Ho! Ho! Ho! (Who d Be A Turkey At Christmas)

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Released as a UK B-side in November, 1973

Sitting here on Christmas Eve with a brandy in my hand
Oh I ve had a few too many and it s getting hard to stand
I keep hearing noises from my fireplace
I must be going crazy or the brandy s won the race

And I keep hearing ho ho ho, guess who s here
Your fat and jolly friend draws near
Ho ho ho, surprise, surprise
The bearded weirdy s just arrived


Ho ho ho, guess who s here
Your fat and jolly friend draws near
Ho ho ho, surprise surprise
The bearded wierdy s just arrived


On my roof there s snorting sounds, and bells inside my head
My vision s blurred with colour, and all he sees is red
There s a pair of large sized wellies coming down my flue
And the smell of burning rubber, oh is filling up the room
