Pass The Bottle (a Christmas Song) Lyrics - Jethro Tull

Once in Royal David's City stood a lowly cattle shed 

Where a mother laid her baby 

You'd do well to remember the things He later said 

When you're stuffing yourselves at the Christmas parties 

You'll just laugh when I tell you to take a running jump 

You're missing the point I'm sure does not need making 

That Christmas spirit is not what you drink 

So how can you laugh when your own mother's hungry 

And how can you smile when the reasons for smiling are wrong? 

And if I just messed up your thoughtless pleasures 

Remember, if you wish, this is just a Christmas song
