Who took the M out of magic
The A followed close behind
G didnt want to be left alone
I and C says, please be kind
Can we not stick together
Why have we drifted away
Why aren't we enjoying christmas
Who said humbug to this festive day
I know we have lost loved ones
Very close to our heart
Did they remove the magic wand
Or did the retailers do their part
Commercial christmas it is now
That should be its new name
Gone is the feeling of a family show
Its a crying shame
So as we sit down to eat lunch
Spare a thought for people with less
Especially the word Magic
Who wants to spread happiness
So come on smiles on faces
Light the candles say a prayer.
Cos its christmas day
We have magic here
