CHORUS

This is a Christmas shanty song

A song to celebrate

parumpa runpa tumpty tum

with you and your first mate

Yo ho ho ho yo ohoho

Let’s sing it loud and long

Forget your bloody carols it’s a Christmas shanty song.

We’re hoisting up the holly on sails of evergreen 
We’re steering towards the starb’d in the finest ship we’ve seen 
So sing with us at Christmas time yes sing out loud and strong
Forget your bloody carols it’s a Christmas shanty song

CHORUS

There’s alcohol aplenty there’s punch and trifle too
the decks are swabbed and ready we’re dancing with the crew 
So sing with us a Christmas time sing out loud strong
Forget your bloody carols it’s a Christmas Shanty song

CHORUS

We ‘re stomping and we’re clapping, the cousins are all here
The bowline’s made of tinsel here’s so much christmas cheer
So sing with us at Christmas time sing out loud and strong
Forget your bloody carols it’s a Christmas Shanty song
