Inflatable

Now’s the time for inflatable Santas and sledges
Sing holly, sing brolly
For curtains of lightbulbs dripping from lodges and ledges
Sing dilly sing dolly
Sing melancholy

For buffoons in big boots, for belly-laughs in the bar
Sing holly, sing brolly
For a bunch of wise lads bending over the boobs in The Star
Sing dilly sing dolly
Sing melancholy

For ladettes in high heels tottering drunk down the cobbles
Sing holly, sing brolly
For midriff and miniskirt, for minces and winces and wobbles
Sing dilly sing dolly
Sing melancholy

For time and for tide, for the taxi that’s waiting on no-one
Sing holly, sing brolly
For sales and for gales and for so on and so on and so on…
Sing dilly sing dolly
Sing melancholy

For so on and so on and so on and so on and so on
Sing dilly
Sing dolly
Sing holly
Sing brolly
Sing it

Sing melancholy.

And so on...
