The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Christmas Dinner

Now there's a big fat turkey or maybe a ham

Round fluffy biscuits all covered with jam

Blackberry, huckleberry, mince and pumpkin pies

If you don't watch out, you're gonna double your size

Mommy's in the kitchen and Daddy's at the tree

Little boys and girls all shouting with glee

Granny sets the table, everyone's in place

When she says, "Come and get it", you really see a race

Look at the jiblip gravy

And the big brown drumstick

Daddy says, "Don't get the tummy ache

Here comes your mother with a big fruit cake"

There's a floating custard and pudding too

Oodles and oodles for me and you

I'll say one thing and you must agree

What a happy, happy time Christmas dinner can be

Look at the jiblib gravy

And the big brown drumstick

Daddy says, "Don't get the tummy ache

Here comes your mother with a big fruit cake"

There's a floating custard and pudding too

Oodles and oodles for me and you

I'll say one thing and you must agree

What a happy, happy time Christmas dinner will be

Now we're all together what bountiful fare

Mother sits down next to babies high chair

Daddy folds his hand and bows his head

Let's all give thanks for the blessings we have
