In time for the Yuletide season, here are the Scouse lyrics to Sir Cliffs Christmas favourite. Merry Everything listeners!

Christmas time, stealing cars and crime;
Children playing in filth and grime;
With cars on fire, and trainees under tree,
Time to rejoice in being scally.


It's a time for thieving, a time for receiving
Knocked-off gear, what a great feeling.
Why pay top dollar, ye can nick it for free
Just like leck-tricity gas and TV.


Christmas time, booze-ups all the time,
Nicking ciggies, sprits and wine
Wearing shell-suits and nikeees, all stolen gear;
It's great getting drunk on someone else's beer.


A time for drinking six pints of Stella
That you got from some dodgy fella.
Christmas is champion, Christmas is best;
God bless our Cilla and the DHSS.


(Up a key)

Christmas time, time to joyride,
Then go and visit family inside,
With Dad on a six-stretch and Sis up the duff
This City of Culcher can get pretty rough.


(Repeat opening chorus to fade)

lol that made me giggle. x
