Verse:
C majorC                D7D7
Now there's a big fat turkey or maybe a ham
G7G7          C majorC
Brown fluffy biscuits covered with jam
FF           C majorC         A minorAm
Blackberry huckleberry mince and pumpkin pies

If you don't watch out you're gonna double your size

C majorC           D7D7
Mommy's in the kitchen daddy's at the tree
G7G7            C majorC
Little boys and girls all shouting with glee
FF           C majorC        A minorAm
Granny sets the table everything's in place
     D7D7            G7G7      C majorC
When she says come and get it you really see a race

Look at the giblet gravy mumum
C majorC
And the big brown drumstick mumum

Daddy says don't get the tummy ache

Here comes your mother with a big fruit cake

There's a floating custard and pudding too
G7G7          C majorC
Oodles and oodles for me and you
FF         C majorC      A minorAm
I'll say one thing and you must agree

What a happy happy time Christmas dinner can be
C majorC           D7D7
Mommy's in the kitchen daddy's at the tree
