DECEMBER THE 25TH
From "Scrooge"
(Leslie Bricusse)


Of all the days in all the year
that I'm familiar with
There's only one that's really fun
December the 25th
Correct!
Ask anyone called Robinson
or Brown or Jones or Smith
Their favorite day
And they will say
December the 25
Correct!
(refrain)
December the 25th, me dears
December the 25th
The dearest day in all the year
December the 25th!
Correct!

At times we're glad to see the backs
of all our kin and kith
But there's one date we celebrate
December the 25th
Correct!
At times our friends may seem
devoid of wit and pith
But all of us are humorous
December the 25th
Correct!
(refrain)

If there's a day in history
that's more than any myth
Beyond a doubt one day stands out
December the 25th
Correct!
I don't hear any arguments
So may I say forthwith
I wish that every day could be
December the 25th
(refrain)
