A New Pair of Socks Lyrics by Chris Squire

0

Now the season, now the question
Time to see what Santa's brought
For the giver and receiver
Let us see what we have got
Are you hopeful? Are you haunted
By the gifts of Christmas Past?
Face the future undaunted
Made a list, or took your chance?
A new pair of socks
Oh, not again!
Hoping for something Nintendo
A new pair of socks
At least you'll be warm
At least you'll be warm in the cold
You can go for walks
And be prepared
Prepare for nice warm toes
In your new pair of socks
Every year the same old story
Never get what you desire
From your aunt in Tobermory
Don't you think that she would tire
Of a new pair of socks
This time they're green
Better than last year, bright yellow
A new pair of socks
Year after year
Year after year, it gets old
Beware of the socks
And be prepared
Prepare for warm and cosy toes
Let us live to get an iPod
Or a PS2 or 3
MP3 player or computer
All of these would do for me
Have yourselves that certain Christmas
Eat, be glad, and drink the wine
When you open up that present
Smile, say 'Thank you', but don't whine
What can this be from your auntie?
It's not in a box
Please, don't tell me! No, it can't be!
A new pair of socks
Beneath the tree, the Christmas tree
While everyone talks
A see a label marked for me
A new pair of socks?
I know just what it's going to be:
A new pair of socks
