LYRICS - The only way to spend Christmas day

Mum’s had a great idea
Gonna have Christmas away this year
No stress, no presents, no cooking, just once
Let’s take the whole family to the south of France

All of the flights were 99p
Plus airport taxes and booking fee
But we’re having second thoughts now it’s 3am
And we’re driving to Luton in the fog and rain…

Let’s go away
On holiday
What a wonderful way
To spend Christmas day

Seatbelts on and we’re holding tight
Mum still says we’re gonna be alright
I hope Granddad’s gonna be OK
He got lost in a fight at the departure gate

Don’t go away
On holiday
It’s a terrible way
To spend Christmas day

Strap back into the aeroplane
Next year we’re going back to normal again
Mum’s already planning a 20-course meal
And a nervous breakdown by the Christmas tree

Scramble back into the terminal
Fetch grandpa from the left luggage carousel
Christmas at home is a terrible bore
But we’ll never complain about it any more

Let’s always stay
At home all day
It’s the only way
To spend Christmas day

Don’t go away
It’s a terrible way
To spend Christmas day
To spend Christmas day
To spend Christmas day…
