Terry Flood Poet Lyric

All I Want For Christmas Is Food

[Written last year, or perhaps the year before
But youtube was awash with parodies in a
Similar vein. Unless I didn’t look properly, I
Haven’t posted it before... so here you go...]

                    ***

I don’t want a lot for Christmas
Food is the one thing I need
I just care that it tastes pleasant
Can you eat a Christmas tree
I just want ham on the bone
And fresh cream profiteroles
And some cheese that’s blue
All I want for Christmas is food

I just want hot nosh for Christmas
Food is the one thing I need
I just care that it tastes pleasant
Can you eat a Christmas tree
Make sure you don’t hang my choccies
Just above the fireplace
Sausage rolls would make me happy
Food is joy on Christmas Day
I just want ham on the bone
And fresh cream profiteroles
And some cheese that’s blue
All I want for Christmas is food baby

I won’t ask for stuff this Christmas
I can’t eat a dish of snow
I’m just gonna keep on eating
Under eating’s a no no
I want marmite crisps and salted
A Tuna and corn sandwich
I might even stay awake to
Eat a reindeer till I’m sick
’cause I drank some beer tonight
Hold on mate, my bladder’s tight
What more can I chew
Baby all I want for Christmas is food
Food

Fairy lights are shining
On the chocolates over there
And I found some chips and
Lager in my lair
And ’cause the oven’s minging
I hear microwaves dinging

Santa won’t you bring me the thing I really need
Won’t you bring peas and bacon to me

Oh I just want some nosh for Christmas
Chips is all I’m asking for
I just want to drink my gravy
Spam is right outside my door
Oh I just want to gnaw this bone
More than you could ever know
Make me chicken stew
Baby all I want for Christmas is food
All I want for Christmas is food baby
All I want for Christmas is food baby

Lindsay Laurie November 30, 2021 at 2:51 PM G'day Terry ... that's exactly what I'd be more than happy with. I could listen to your lyrics all Christmas Day and not feel guilty reaching on the table - thanks Terry - Lindsay Terry Flood November 30, 2021 at 3:09 PM Thanks, Lindsay. If you had British television and murmurs about lockdowns, you’d probably think that food is all there will be this Christmas. Time will tell. Cheers. Terry

Jan Allison November 29, 2021 at 4:45 AM Wonderful parody better than the original lol, hugs jan xx Terry Flood November 29, 2021 at 10:55 AM Thanks, Jan. As I said, not new but seemingly un-posted. Glad you enjoyed. Terry

Gershon Wolf November 23, 2021 at 9:37 PM I shall attempt to answer your question, 'Can you eat a tree?' -- Maybe not, but I've actually eaten broc - co - li! ~ Survivor Terry Flood November 25, 2021 at 12:56 PM Well… it does kinda look like a tree. Cheers Gershon. Terry

Natasha L Scragg November 23, 2021 at 7:00 AM This is hilarious!! Very clever rhyming going on! Perfect sync for the music too.. love it. :-D (and I'm sure Tom will appreciate marmite getting a mention) :-D Terry Flood November 23, 2021 at 11:40 AM Thanks, Natasha. If it had been from a show, I might have entered your contest. Glad you enjoyed. Terry

Tom Cunningham November 22, 2021 at 1:52 PM You've made me hungry reading this Terry, barbecued reindeer mmm mmm. Tom Terry Flood November 22, 2021 at 2:57 PM These Lyric reworkings can prove difficult to follow when the original has a complete rhythm/tempo change as this does toward the end. Hope you managed to follow it, Tom. The last few days seem to have sapped my funny, so I had nothing new to post. Thought this might fill the gap. Terry

David Kavanagh November 22, 2021 at 1:40 PM Eat a reindeer til I’m sick, what a genius line Terry, I suspect you held back a bit on this one, and probably rightly so, you have me thinking about all sorts of crazy Christmas stuff to eat, a great lyric just right for the season, cheers David Terry Flood November 22, 2021 at 3:00 PM Hi David. Fell back on this previously unused oldie to plug a creativity void. Giad you enjoyed. Terry
