Christmas Is For Mugs

Written by Graham Parker

	  		Christmas Is For Mugs 
Graham Parker 

Intro: 

D D |  A        | E       | A        | A        | 

A                A            F#m                  D 
I bought a candelabra made of glass from Petticoat Lane 
        A                A         F#m           D 
It cost twice as much as usual but I did not complain  
A                    A               F#m            D 
I walked back to our cold water flat in the pouring rain  
        C#m          C#m                        D            D 
But the wrapping got ruined             and the glass looked stained 
        C#m              C#m                    D                E     
And the tree I picked up cheap         shed its needles down the drain 

    A           A                 F#m            D       
Now everybody's talking about the kisses and the hugs 
    A              A                     F#m            D       
and all the little heartstrings that the festive season tugs 
    A             A            F#m             D       
But all I see are lager louts, shoplifters and thugs 
             A        E                A           A 
So fill mine up cause Christmas is for mugs 

 A              A              F#m          D 
I took a bus to Camden town, began to shop around 
  A                   A               F#m             D 
I looked for some new sex shop that I read of in Time Out 
  A               A                       F#m                 D 
I bought a gadget that the man said would make you scream and shout 
       C#m               C#m              D                  D 
But it did not come with batteries and we could not find the spout 
C#m          C#m                  D             E     
Like so many Christmas presents     we threw it out 

    A           A                 F#m            D       
Now everybody's talking about the kisses and the hugs 
    A              A                     F#m            D       
and all the little heartstrings that the festive season tugs 
    A             A            F#m             D       
But all I see are lager louts, shoplifters and thugs 
             A        E                A        A 
So fill mine up cause Christmas is for mugs,       yes it is 

Instrumental: 

| A              |  A             |  F#m         | D              | 
| A              |  E             |  A           | A              | 

    A                 A              F#m          D 
Now all the crepe and tinsel is left lying on the floor 
        A                 A            F#m            D 
And the wreath we hung up weeks ago is rotting on the door 
    A                     A                  F#m               D 
And I'd like to punch the lights out of that crooked tree then door 
C#m            C#m                   D             D 
If I saw Saint Nick tonight, there'd be a scene of gore 
    C#m             C#m             D                E 
I'd throw a match into the fire and make the chimney roar 

         A           A                 F#m            D       
Now everybody's talking about the kisses and the hugs 
    A              A                     F#m            D       
and all the little heartstrings that the festive season tugs 
    A             A            F#m             D       
But all I see are lager louts, shoplifters and thugs 
             A        E                A           A 
So fill mine up cause Christmas is for mugs 
             A        E                A           A 
So fill mine up cause Christmas is for mugs 
             A        E                D              A 
So fill mine up cause Christmas is for mugs
