Port Starboard Sox

I woke this morn and there beside my bed
Lay two stockings, one was green and one was red
Should I put them on my feet?
Or match them on my head?

I think I'll wear my port starboard socks
They'll bring me luck tonight
The red one's on the left foot
And the green one's on the right

I love to wear my port starboard socks
They chase my blues away
When I wear my port starboard socks
It's Christmas every day

Stop and go, hot and cold
The ember and the envy
Red and green, a Christmas scene
The holly and the ivy

I think I'll weave port starboard socks
For Santa and his reindeer
I'll find a great big cardboard box
And fill it with good cheer

A streak of red and one of green
Like ribbons wound and curled
We'll make a great big Christmas wreath
That goes around the whole world

Stop and go, hot and cold
The ember and the envy
Red and green, a Christmas scene
The holly and the ivy

I woke this morn and there beside my bed
Lay two stockings, one was green and one was red
Should I put them on my feet?
Or match them on my head?
