It's a good time for a party
Let's take it easy for a bit.
It is cold, it's dark, it's winter
We're all in need of a break
I don't care what God you follow
You can decide on your own fate
Just pull another chair round
I'm grateful you are my mate.
Let's raise a glass to Vishnu
Let's bow down to the East
Let's use a child on a donkey
As an excuse for a feast.
We've earned a little comfort
We're overdue some joy
So I bought up half the market
Come on in and enjoy.
Granny's asleep in the corner
The kids are on the floor
Playing with some gadget
That I've never seen before.
My father's at the whiskey
Mother's already hit the gin
I'll get another bottle out
It's best to just join in.
Because it is cold, it's dark, it's winter
It has been one hell of a hard year
I don't care what God you follow
You can get your arse in here.
I don't care what God you follow
Let's have another beer.
