Originally recorded by The Ravers back in 1977.

Let's 'avit!
Oi!
Yeh!
Its gonna to be
A punk rock christmas this year,
Even santa's gonna be
A Sex Pistol for a day
All those christmas trees swinging safety pins from their leaves

It's gonna be
A punk rock christmas this year

Farah Fawcett will change her hairstyle for a day,
The Queen will sing
Anarchy In The UK
and old Mick Jagger will adopt
A strangler's swagger
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah baby

Rick Wakeman will take up the electric guitar, ha
And Johnny Ramone will get a sled for a car,
There's a group called The Damned, they say
Who play the four wise men in a play, in a play, IN A PLAY!!

It's gonna be, haha
A punk rock christmas this year
Even santa's gonna be
A Sex Pistol for a day
All those christmas trees swinging safety pins from their leaves

It's gonna be
A punk rock christmas this year

(Santa) What do you want for christmas,
Little boy?
(Boy) I want a Damned LP
With Eddie & The Hot Rods on the back,
I want a colour TV so I can kick it in
I want an Ace guitar,
And a subscription to Punk Magazine
(Santa) What else do you you want for christmas,
Little boy?
(Boy) I want two copies of God Save The Queen
With a picture sleeve
(Santa) With a picture sleeve?
(Boy) YEAH, WITH A PICTURE SLEEVE!
(Santa) If you're a good little boy
Your wish will come true
(Boy) YEAH, WELL IT BLOODY WELL BETTER!

A nice sweater all ripped to shreds,
Get mum and dad chic
Get some safety pins for their cheeks
