Christmas Is For Mugs
Graham Parker
Intro:
D D | A | E | A | A |
A A F#m D
I bought a candelabra made of glass from Petticoat Lane
A A F#m D
It cost twice as much as usual but I did not complain
A A F#m D
I walked back to our cold water flat in the pouring rain
C#m C#m D D
But the wrapping got ruined and the glass looked stained
C#m C#m D E
And the tree I picked up cheap shed its needles down the drain
A A F#m D
Now everybody's talking about the kisses and the hugs
A A F#m D
and all the little heartstrings that the festive season tugs
A A F#m D
But all I see are lager louts, shoplifters and thugs
A E A A
So fill mine up cause Christmas is for mugs
A A F#m D
I took a bus to Camden town, began to shop around
A A F#m D
I looked for some new sex shop that I read of in Time Out
A A F#m D
I bought a gadget that the man said would make you scream and shout
C#m C#m D D
But it did not come with batteries and we could not find the spout
C#m C#m D E
Like so many Christmas presents we threw it out
A A F#m D
Now everybody's talking about the kisses and the hugs
A A F#m D
and all the little heartstrings that the festive season tugs
A A F#m D
But all I see are lager louts, shoplifters and thugs
A E A A
So fill mine up cause Christmas is for mugs, yes it is
Instrumental:
| A | A | F#m | D |
| A | E | A | A |
A A F#m D
Now all the crepe and tinsel is left lying on the floor
A A F#m D
And the wreath we hung up weeks ago is rotting on the door
A A F#m D
And I'd like to punch the lights out of that crooked vendor
C#m C#m D D
If I saw Saint Nick tonight, there'd be a scene of gore
C#m C#m D E
I'd throw a match into the fire and make the chimney roar
A A F#m D
Now everybody's talking about the kisses and the hugs
A A F#m D
and all the little heartstrings that the festive season tugs
A A F#m D
But all I see are lager louts, shoplifters and thugs
A E A A
So fill mine up cause Christmas is for mugs
A E A A
So fill mine up cause Christmas is for mugs
A E D A
So fill mine up cause Christmas is for mugs
