The Holly & The Ivy

The Holly &The Ivy

The Lockdown and the tiering

Have both become boring

And all the repeats showing on TV

Have left us all snoring 

(refrain)

O, the coming of the vax

And the lifting of each tier

The gath’ring in our Christmas bubbles

Should bring us all some cheer 

The Covid bears a burden

So hard with many deaths

And NHS sweet Jesus Christ

Has seen many last breaths 

O, the coming of the vax

And the lifting of each tier

The gath’ring in our Christmas bubbles

Should bring us all some cheer 

Our folly meant a Lockdown

As hard as any stood

And washing hands sweet Jesus Christ

Did us poor sinners good 

O, the coming of the vax

And the lifting of each tier

The gath’ring in our Christmas bubbles

Should bring us all some cheer 

Our jolly Christmas has gone

Social distance the norm

And now New Year sweet Jesus Christ

Will consist of the same form 

O, the coming of the vax

And the lifting of each tier

The gath’ring in our Christmas bubbles

Should bring us all some cheer
