Let's Have a Lock-In

December seems to take so long just waiting for the day (Shoe-be-do-be)
Everybody gets uptighter up to Christmas day (Shoe-be-do-be)
That's the reason we look forward to pulling out 'o the fray
Close the curtains, lock the doors, it's nearly Christmas day!

Let's have a lock-in
From Christmas Eve to Boxing Day
Let's have a lock-in
And let's do it merrily
Let's have a lock-in
We choose it voluntarily
Hang up your stockin'
And let's have a lock-in

Fill the fridge and larder with our favourite things to eat (Shoe-be-do-be)
And top up the coal and wood stores both so nice and heaped (Shoe-be-do-be)
Make sure there is beer and wine to help us keep jolly
And don't forget the Man who brings us prezzies for the Tree!

Let's have a lock-in
From Christmas Eve to Boxing Eve
Let's have a lock-in
And let's do it joyfully
Let's have a lock-in
Now let's decorate the tree
So, stop your shoppin'
And let's have a lock-in

So, let's wrap up tight
In a Christmas sweater
The fire's bright
Who cares about the weather
Let's snuggle tight
Like birds of a feather
Stay up all night
So long as we're together!

Everything is done on time, it's such a great relief! (Shoe-be-do-be)
So, light the fire! And lock the door! It's finally Christmas Eve! (Shoe-be-do-be)
Sometime round 'bout midnight gifts appear beneath the tree!
Might be Christ or Santa Claus, whatever you believe!

Let's have a lock-in
It's our favourite time of year
Let's have a lock-in
Full of family and good cheer
Let's have a lock-in
Come on crack another beer!
The fire's poppin'
So let's have a lock-in

So be cool, you guys
And don't you ever sweat it
Someone was born
This day for all the better
Enjoy yourself
I know you won't regret it
This peace and joy
Are yours if you let it

So, wrap up tight
In a Christmas sweater
The fire's bright
Who cares about the weather
Let's snuggle tight
Like birds of a feather
Stay up all night
Doin' it together!

What a lovely time we've had just hanging out this way (Shoe-be-do-be)
I can't recall us having had a better holiday (Shoe-be-do-be)
I wish it wouldn't end so soon, but I guess it's just that way
You know there's enough food and wood to last 'til New Year's Day...

What?
Yeah!
Really?
Yeah!
Awesome
I know!
Yeah!

Let's have a lock-in
From Christmas Eve til New Year's Day
Let's have a lock-in
It's an extended holiday!
Let's have a lock-in
This family time's been truly great
So let's keep rockin'
We're having a lock-in
I know it's shockin'
We're having a lock-in

So don't come knockin'
We're having a lock-in!
