Aftermath
From Christmas cheer to absent beer
From festive fun to none
No peace on earth just massive girth
God bless us every one
No season’s greetings family meetings
Fill your glass is past
On New Year’s Eve I can’t believe
We got so fat so fast
A year to go before we’ll show
Goodwill to men again
Great joy a tree a spending spree
Forget all that till then
So flush your toxins wash your socks
Begin the righteous fight
Defeat your sins and double chins
Cast off your clothes they’re tight
Hard times ahead don’t cry instead
Rejoice in what you’ve got
You won’t remember last December
Once the sea is hot
