Jingle
Jingle all the way they said
I don’t know if I will.
Not today, I’m feeling tired.
Give me calm and still.
Let me put my feet up - the Christmas joy can wait.
End of year has got me in a less-than-merry state!
I don’t know if I will.
Not today, I’m feeling tired.
Give me calm and still.
Let me put my feet up - the Christmas joy can wait.
End of year has got me in a less-than-merry state!
