lyrics

(Vocals by Meggan Cashwell)

A couple hundred years ago
When the temperature would dip down low
Christmastime, wasn't much like today

Less caroling in the air
And no stockings hung with care
No cards or crackers or national holiday

Then queen Vic, she let Albert
Go out and cut a tree
He brought it inside like they did back home
With the kids in Germany

Soon it was the talk of the town
As they decorated up and down
And a Queen's Christmas became the brand new way

***

Little bells on a sleigh
Used to mean "step out of the way"
Then a brand new song came along in a happy key

Shippin' on steam and rail
And a half a penny for the mail
Brought toys and cheer from the mountains to the sea

Pretty soon, workin' folk had a day off
And it was s'well
And Dickens and Moore wrote a couple of tales
I'm sure you know pretty well

Victorians one and all
Had tradition on the ball
Now it's a Queen's Christmas each year around the tree
