Artist background

The Spice Girls made “Wannabe” a calling card for their exuberant brand of pop, then became regular visitors to the Christmas charts. Their version of the Waitresses’ “Christmas Wrapping” appeared on the “Goodbye” single. It’s a lively seasonal side trip from a group whose songs rarely require much encouragement to get a singalong started.

Show Lyrics — Christmas Wrapping
Bah Hum, No that's too strong!
'Cause it's my favorite holiday
But all this years been a busy blur
Don't think I have the energy
To add to my already mad rush
Just because it is the season 
The perfect gift for me would be 
Completions and connections left from last year 
World tour, aeroplanes and babies. 
Met some guys but never the time 
Most of 98 was along those lines. 

So deck the halls and trim those trees
Raise up the cups of christmas cheer
I just need to catch my breath 
Christmas with my mates this year

Calendar picture
Frozen landscape
Chill this room for twentyfour days 
Evergreens, sparkling snow, get this winter over with
Flash back to spring time, 
Sunny again
Would have been good to go for lunch 
Couldn't agree when we were both free 
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch, 
We didn't of course till the summer time,
Out to the beach to his boat could have joined him 
No this time, it was me, sunburn in the third degree
Now the calendars just one page
And of course I am excited
Tonights the night but I've set my mind 
Not to do too much about it.

Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year

Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year

Hardly dashing through the snow
'Cause I bundled up too tight 
Last minutes have-to-dos
A few cards, a few calls 
Because it's are S V P 
No thanks, no party lads 
It's christmas eve, gonna relax
Turn down all of my invites 
Last fall I had a night to myself
Some guy called halloween party 
Waited all night for him to show 
This time his car wouldn't go 
Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late 
Trudge on home to celebrate 
In a quite way I unwind, 
Doing christmas right this time 

Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year

Tesco has provided me with the world's smallest turkey
All ready in the oven, nice and hot 
Oh damn, guess what I forgot 
So it's on with the boots back out in the snow 
To the army all night garage but when to my wondering eyes should appear 
In the line that guy I've been chasing all year
Spending this one alone he said
Give me a break this years been crazy 
I said me too, but why are you... 
You mean you forgot the papers too 
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed 
Caught on to what was happening
Christmas magic's brought this down to a very happy en-ending. 

Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year

Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
