CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
LONG AGO AND FAR AWAY
ON A LONELY DESERT FLIGHT
A HOMELESS COUPLE SEARCHED
IN VAIN FOR A PLACE TO SPEND
THE NIGHT
A STABLE WAS ALL THEY FOUND
WITH A BED OF STRAW AND HAY
SO DON’T FORGET THE HOMELESS
DON’T TURN YOUR HEAD AWAY.
A TOONIE HERE, A LOONIE THERE
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE STREET
CAN MEAN TO THEM THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN NOTHING AND A TREAT
SO KEEP IN MIND THAT STABLE
AS YOU GO YOUR BUSY WAY
THEY’LL THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS
AND HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS DAY.
