A 'Fa La La' Christmas

Christmas time is close
You asked me how I knew 
It's really very simple
There is a major clue

Annoying Christmas songs 
Play across the nation 
In every single shop 
Repeating on rotation 

I can't take any more snoopy 
And the red baron in his aeroplane
Or grandma run over by a reindeer 
Played over and over again 

I don't want to deck the halls 
With any amount of holly 
Or mummy kissing santa claus 
While I push the shopping trolley 

I just want some peace and quiet 
Whenever I leave the home 
Next year I'll ask be asking santa 
For noise cancelling headphones
