CHRISTMAS DOESN'T CHIME
The radio blares like the rain non stop
we talk about the weather talking shop
The vinyl whirs and the belt starts to strain
there's no one to blame but it just don't rhyme
poetic license on a forty-five
the headmasters dog barking up the wrong tree
his masters voice or was it HMV
did we say that in nineteen sixty three?
Smashing seventy-eights at summer fair
stashing home made apple chutney in the
Forest School desk
eating spam from a party fork end spoon
drinking cold coffee from Arcoroc cups
sweeping the hair from the barbers shop floor
Christmas doesn't chime with old memories
doesn't rhyme with thyme like time does with chime
play rock 'n' roll in the fifty-five Ford Pop
Wurlitzer jukebox twenty four seven
it's seventh heaven at the record hop
We talk about the weather talking shop
the radio blares like the rain non stop
