"Christmas has already come
My presents still are all wrapped up
But here it's a lonely summer again
with all my friends gone
When will I ever get to go
where across the ocean they've got snow?
I'd be happy just to wait for your card in the post
but you'll be back before it shows
And I'll be a long way down
Let it be Boxing Day now
I like it quiet but not with every shop shut down
And your cooking oil's made a rainbow in my heart
Christmas has already gone
And my friend's
hasn't even begun"
