Lyrics

may this festive season give you joy
and happiness and cheer
and the strength to fight the world of trite
all around this time of year
and I wish you all the things you love
That put you at your ease
but most of all, like it or not
I wish you cheese

Bad music playing in the shops
A blow-up reindeer on the lawn
the ugly trappings you despise
the schmaltz that you hate on
but while you scowl at Santa
I hope you’ll find some peace
In this, my friend, until the end:
I wish you cheese

I won’t always be beside you to point out the funny side
of all the ads and media that take you for a ride
So let me sing this song for you, and share my expertise
There’s better cheer when you are here
I wish you cheese

I know ugly sweaters make you cringe
and sweat and overheat
and eggnog flavoured everything
don’t make the season sweet
corporations wish you peace and love
and cash back guarantees
but don’t forget with no regret
I wish you cheese
