Hello Dan
It's Joe here
I hope
you're keeping well
It's the
21St of December
and now they're
ringing the last bell
If I get good behaviour
I'll be out of here by July
Won't you kiss my kids
on Christmas Day
Please don't let 'em
cry for me
I guess the brothers
are driving down
from Queensland
And Stella's flying in
from the coast
They say
it's gonna be
a hundred degrees
even more maybe
But that won't
stop the roast
Who's gonna make
the gravy now
I bet it won't
taste the same
Just add flour, salt
a little red wine
And don't forget
a dollop of tomato sauce
for sweetness
and that extra tang
And give my love
to Angus and to
Frank and Dolly
Tell 'em all
I'm sorry
I screwed up this time
And look after Rita
I'll be thinking of her
early Christmas morning
When I'm standing in line
I hear Mary's
got a new boyfriend
I hope he can
hold his own
Do you remember
the last one
What was his name again
Just a little
too much cologne
And Roger
you know I'm even
gonna miss Roger
'Cause there's sure as hell
no one in here
l want to hght
Oh praise for baby Jesus
have a Merry Christmas
I'm really gonna miss it
all the treasure
and the trash
And later in the evening
I can just imagine
You'll put on
junior Murvin
and push the tables back
And you'll dance with Rita
know you really like her
Just don't
hold her too close
Oh brother please don't
stab me in the back
I didn't mean to say that
it's just my mind
it plays up
Multiplies each matter
turns imagination into fact
You know l love her badly
She's the one to save me
I'm gonna
make some gravy
I'm gonna taste the fat
Tell her that I'm sorry
yeah I love her badly
Tell 'em all I'm sorry
And kiss the
sleepy children for me
You know
one of these days
I'll be making gravy
I'll be making plenty
I'm gonna
pay 'em all back
