Most Christmas songs don't start in spring Well this one does, now here's the thing This isn't quite your normal Christmas rhyme So gather round I'll tell a tale To make you laugh, to make you wail The tale of Christmas 1999 We heard a catchy little tune We stole in an afternoon And stuck it on a cheap old disco beat The Man said "that's a gravy train" We quite agreed and drank champagne And lit cigars with five pound notes till tea The year passed by, we waited round December came and there we found An enemy awaiting unobserved We'd take him on - though heavenly We knew we'd win, and suddenly The Christmas number 1 race was confirmed Oh Cliff oh Cliff oh Cliff Why'd you have to make things difficult at Christmas Oh Cliff oh Cliff oh Cliff Why'd you have to make things tough this time of year Though big shots momentarily We knew our place, and reverently Referred to him as decent and quite sound Not he, he said that we would flop He'd hate to lose to rodent pop The gloves were off, the lord will smite him down Take down Mr Rock 'n Roll Was now our sole and only goal We should have been less blinkered in our gaze For whilst we slugged it out with him These Irish boys stepped in the ring And some dead hippie from the olden days Oh Cliff oh Cliff oh Cliff Why'd you have to make things difficult at Christmas Oh Cliff oh Cliff oh Cliff Why'd you have to make things tough this time of year Goliaths beat us after all And we came in at number 4 The moral - don't be distracted from your aim Still bitter that our TV gigs Went unbroadcast, and yet theirs did Learn from our lives of bitterness and pain Oh Cliff oh Cliff oh Cliff Why'd you have to make things difficult at Christmas Oh Cliff oh Cliff oh Cliff Why'd you have to make things tough this time of year Oh Cliff oh Cliff oh Cliff Why'd you have to make things difficult at Christmas Oh Cliff oh Cliff oh Cliff Why'd you have to make things tough this time of year
