once upon a time we had turkey we had wine
there was laughter and song shiny faces full of love
once upon a time we had turkey we had wine
once i remember well grandpa had a tale to tell
round the fireplace we sat
listening to words i won't forget
once i remember well grandpa had a tale to tell
once we had a tree where we all sat underneath
saying prayers for those with no food and no clothes
once we had a tree where we all sat underneath
once upon a time there was christmas we were fine
where has it gone where we gone wrong
once in every year grandma shed a tear
she'd remember the good old days
back when a man's heart works obey
once in every year grandma shed a tear
once not long ago we all heard the whistles blow
we bid our soldiers farewell
the rifle sound broke the spell
once not long ago we all heard the whistles blow
once upon a time there was christmas we did find
where has it gone where we gone wrong
once upon a time we had turkey we had wine
there was laughter and song shiny faces full of love
once upon a time we had turkey we had wine
