Came back from midnight shopping
Saw your shadow on the curtain
I presume you let yourself in
With the key you've yet to return
You ask me how I've been
And if I've seen much snow
Skillfully avoiding things
That happened here a year ago
So, she's turned you out has she
Well, I can't say I'm surprised
After last year's festive fuss
I find it hard to sympathise
I slip through slush on Boxing Day
The shops were shut no films were on
You wander round to hers
And left a note to say you'd gone
CHORUS
Stood by the fireplace
You look ridiculous
You can't just come and stay here
Like you did last Christmas
You know what you did wrong
And Christmas, Christmas is cancelled this year
Riff 1
The last thing I expected
Was to come and find you knocking
At my door, waiting for a
Don't take your jacket off
This is not your home
Just raise your glass to two more people
Spending Christmas Day alone
CHORUS
Stood by the fireplace
You look ridiculous
You can't just come and stay here
Like you did last Christmas
You know what you did wrong
And Christmas, Christmas is cancelled this year
Riff 1
No Mum, don't worry about me
I'll just have fish and chips for tea
I'll watch the Queen and go to sleep
I'll watch the Queen and go to sleep
CHORUS
Stood by the fireplace
You look ridiculous
You can't just come and stay here
Like you did last Christmas
You know what you did wrong
And Christmas, Christmas is cancelled this year
You know what you did wrong
And Christmas, Christmas is cancelled this year
No Mum, don't worry about me
Just have a happy Christmas
No Mum, don't worry about me
Just have a happy Christmas
Riff 1
Christmas is cancelled this year
Christmas is cancelled this year
Christmas is cancelled this year
