Lyrics
Lyrics from Bring Your Own Chair
Denise said, Just the family Maybe ten of us at most Then the man from down the landing Brought a pie and stayed to toast To his very first December With a place to call his own She said, Hang your coat up, Raymond You can celebrate with us
Who's that knocking? Let them in Move the table back again Someone find another plate Christmas dinner's worth the wait
Bring your own chair! We'll make the room Bring your loud laugh And your favorite tune There's a little more supper And a whole lot of love Bring your own chair! Pull it up, pull it up Merry Christmas, everybody Come and celebrate with us
Now the kids from number seven Have their cousins in a line Teaching Grandma all the hand moves Grandma says she's doing fine Someone's ringing little sleigh bells Someone's harmonizing wrong Raymond says he doesn't know it We say, You'll know it before long
Who's that knocking? Let them in Move the table back again Put the kettle on to boil We've got one more roll of foil
Bring your own chair! We'll make the room Bring your loud laugh And your favorite tune There's a little more supper And a whole lot of love Bring your own chair! Pull it up, pull it up Merry Christmas, everybody Come and celebrate with us
You don't need a perfect reason You don't need a fancy gift If your Christmas feels a little quiet Come on over, join in this At the door she sees him smiling Says, Next year you're on the list He says, I'll bring something bigger She says, Just yourself like this
Bring your own chair! We'll make the room Bring your loud laugh And your favorite tune There's a little more supper And a whole lot of love Bring your own chair! Pull it up, pull it up Merry Christmas, everybody Come and celebrate with us
Pull it up, pull it up We've got room for you Bring your own chair! Merry Christmas to you
