Underneath a lamp light there's a golden glow on snow .
The winter light will guide our way and away we go.
Icicles on water spouts and smoke from chimney pots .
Frozen streets at twiligh time and empty vacant lots .
Parlours near the pavement with lights in the window .
Knock knock upon the door , sure its your man ,
Ho Ho Ho !
He's rolling out the barrel and brought a laugh or two .
Reindeers up the alley and a cold wind cuts on through .
Lined up little snowmen guard the town with arms of little sticks .
There's a hearth with a warm fire where fires tongue sweeps and licks .
Crying cats on back yard walls and snow on dust bin lids .
Hush puppies on red chilblains and stockings hung for kids .
Chains around the fireplace with crackling sparks of light .
Its cosy on the inside but cold out in the night .
A christmas eve kind of magic is thickly spread round town .
God bless us all tomorrow when Chrismas comes around .
