It Doesn’t Often Snow at Christmas (New Version) lyrics

[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]
Christmas is not all it's cracked up to be
Families fighting around a plastic tree
Nothing on the TV that you'd want to see
And it's hardly ever snowing the way it's meant to be

[Pre-Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Like in White Christmas year after year
Bing Crosby, Bing Crosby, are you listening to me?

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
It doesn't often snow at Christmas
The way it's meant to do
But I'll still have a glow at Christmas
Because I'll be with you

[Verse 2: Neil Tennant]
The Christmas message was long ago lost
Now it's all about shopping and how much things cost

[Pre-Chorus: Neil Tennant]
It's meant to be goodwill as well as synthetic fun
What is this year's festive number one?

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
It doesn't often snow at Christmas
The way it's meant to do
But I'll still have a glow at Christmas
Because I'll be with you
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
It doesn't often snow at Christmas
The way it's meant to do
But I'll still have a glow at Christmas
Because I'll be with you

It doesn't often snow at Christmas
The way it's meant to do
But I'll still have a glow at Christmas
Because I'll be with you

It doesn't often snow at Christmas
The way it's meant to do
But I'll still have a glow at Christmas
Because I'll be with you

[Spoken Outro: Neil Tennant & Chris Lowe]
Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
