Madness - Inanity Over Christmas lyrics

Inanity Over Christmas

Hello, everyone out there this is Carl
And the rest of Madness
We'd just like to bring you
A bit of Christmas cheer
Please remember to keep a smile on
Your face till the New Year

Hello, this is Woody and we've got a
Little song for you merry Christmas
1, 2, 3, 4

Hiya, Merry Christmas everyone
Mark here i'm going to play a
Bit of bass for you now

Hello, this is Chris, Happy Christmas

Hi, Lee Kix here, filling your stocking
I play sax but also, I sing at the same time
Baffling, eh?

Well, it's jingling bells
It's Christmas time santa fetches his sack
Snowdrop glitter falls from the skies
To settle upon each and everyone's back

Chimney sweeps take to the streets
In the ongoing situation
Pages freeze upon your pension book
And up flies the flag of inflation

And all this time I'll be waiting
Up by the chimney stack
On this coldest year since brrrr
Up above upon a reindeer's back

Stop off at the Rock of Gibraltar
Tea under the indecipherable of Malta
Wrap up warmer in Warsaw
Cruise over the flats of Alaska

And all this time I'll be waiting
Up by the chimney stack
On this coldest year since brrrr
Up above upon a reindeer's back

I hope you've enjoyed this song
So far this is Suggs
And now I am going to take it away
OK, lads, let's close it together

And all this time I'll be waiting
Up by the chimney stack
On this coldest year since brrrr
Up above upon a reindeer's back

OK, quiet everybody this should go on here
Er, help me with those baggy indecipherable
There

Oooh oooh

You'll never take me alive, copper
Look, reindeer, don't be silly
Just come on down
I'm going to get that conny to ma
Don't waste anymore
Sit down this is holding the pace up
Shove it, copper
I stick a grapefruit in your face
You what? You're out of a bloody
Job now come on down again
Nothing's going to stop us singing, copper
Even if I have got to come
Down and tell you myself
And stick it in your face
I'm going to send in the troops
If you don't come down
We're going to keep singing in
Every home in the nation
Do whatever you want to do what? That's it!
You stupid flatfoot
You'll never take me alive
I'm on top of the world, boy

Up above the chimney stack, by the chimney

Chris, quieten down over there, will you
I'm trying to get a message across, you know
I'm going to change the world overnight, yeah

Thank you

Thank you
