The Christmas Goblins

Come by the fire and rest your Soul
And hear the tales from centuries ago
Old tales the say of creatures of lore
Under the Earth
A tree and a saw

The Christmas Goblins says our folk
the Tree of Life to cut was their work
Sawing it deep
Hoped it collapses
All through the year
With ropes and axes

For 12 long days from Christmas Day
To 6th of January they'd stay
Roaming the Earth
Full on mischief
Down from the chimneys
Looking for treats

The Christmas Goblins
Said old folk
Are not too smart but neither a joke
So busy your heart with large a Yule log
Burn day and night and make a good smoke
Throw in a shoe to ward off those elvish blokes

With Christed water
Basil and cross
Go sprinkle all your windows and doors
Place a colander where they can see
Watch as they count all night up to three

When to the Earth's core they return
The Tree of Life has healed again
Back to their work to knock the Tree down
Till Christmas come again and they're back in town
