Holly Said to Ivy

Holly said to Ivy
"Now Christmas has come
We ought to throw a party
Let's have some fun"
"Who do we invite though?
That's the tricky thing"
"Why not speak to Carol
She always likes a sing
And let's ask Mary
I'm sure she'd like to come"
"Mary who?..."
"Mary Christmas, Everyone"

There'll be mince pies, paper ties, gingerbread and turkey
Parsnips, mistletoe, potatoes in the gravy
Mulled wine and sparkly, candles shining darkly
And if we're lucky we could hear some angels singing harkly

Let's invite Jim Gellbells
And Marion Bright
Remember Hollis Calm?
He might come tonight
What about that aristo?
Kathryn Wynter-Fuel?
And Juan Orsopenslay?
He's Spanish and he's cool
Get seven ladies dancing
That'll set the place a -humming
But I'm gonna draw the line
At twelve drummers drumming

There'll be mince pies, paper ties, gingerbread and turkey
Parsnips, mistletoe, potatoes in the gravy
Mulled wine and sparkly, candles shining darkly
And if we're lucky we could hear some angels singing harkly

Let's go down Excelsis
See if Gloria's In
Frank incense-d me when I saw him last
So I won't ask him
But when I last looked out
I saw that feaster Steven
He's got a groovy friend
Name of Crispin Even
Ivy said, "We'll deck the halls now
Holly, don't you frown"
Holly said, "Of all the trees
I'm gonna wear the crown"

There'll be mince pies, paper ties, gingerbread and turkey
Parsnips, mistletoe, potatoes in the gravy
Mulled wine and sparkly, candles shining darkly
And if we're lucky we could hear some angels singing harkly
