Oh what a miserable year
But what a time to be alive
Sadly some friends disappeared
It's never been like this before (ooh, ooh)
It feels like we're at war (ooh, ooh)
So I wonder who's gonna decide
If we can do the Auld Lang Syne
I wish that I could do what I like
With this family of mine (ooh, ooh)
We're going out of our minds (ooh, ooh)
So what are we to do
About your FaceTime's and your Zooms?
There's a room inside my mind
And it's always here for you
Nothing's gonna stop Christmas
No chance
You can't take away our season
Like you can take away the why's
(Santa's on his sleigh, but now he's two meters away)
The people gonna need something to believe in
After a year of being in
(We've got a wish list to catch the Christmas time)
If you're wondering what I like
Stacks of sanitizer will do fine
I guess you do your shopping online
The high street lights are out(ooh, ooh)
There's nobody about (ooh, ooh)
So where will we all be
Come this time next year?
I know you'll be with me
And I'll be here
Nothing's gonna take Christmas
You can't take away our season
Like you can take away the why's
(Santa's on his sleigh but now he's two meters away)
The people gonna need something to believe in
After a year of being in
(We've got a wish list to catch the Christmas)
Why, oh why are we all waiting?
The whole damn world anticipating
Beyond boredom and frustration
The planet's locked in what ifs and maybes
You can't take away our season
Like you can take away the why's
(I spoke to Santa Claus, I hear he's waiting at the door)
The people gonna need something to believe in
After a year of being in
We've all missed this
So here's our wish list
You can't stop Christmas time
