Carrying on ,

I think I'll sail off in a boat
Provided the old yacht will float
So it's sink or swim
I'm off on a whim
To visit that lovely French Cote

But, hang on a minute, be wise
Because ,underneath that disguise

But, hang on a minute, be wise
Because, underneath that disguise
Your pallor will show
And they will all know

But, hang on a minute, be wise
Because, underneath that disguise
Your pallor will show
And they will all know
Your outfit, your ID belies!

Far better to stay where you are
Than leave to follow a star

Far better to stay where you are
Than leave to follow a star
As east, west, home’s best

As east, west, home’s best
Your own cosy nest

Far better to stay where you are
Than leave to follow a star
As east, west, home's best
Your own cosy nest
With tea, a fire and books not far.

Thank you Juliet27. Realised I’d made a cockup of it , I’m a bit thick! So I gave up in case I embarrassed myself even more. Have a good Christmas ??❌

Is Santa Claus packing up his sleigh?
Getting ready for his big day?
He’s choosing the toys

Is Santa Claus packing up his sleigh?
Getting ready for his big day?
He’s choosing the toys
For girls and for boys

Is Santa Claus packing up his sleigh?
Getting ready for his big day?
He’s choosing the toys
For girls and for boys
They'll cry with great gusto, “Hooray!”

Whilst parents, hungover and drained,
Wish the kids could just be restrained

They gorge on the chocolate treats
And finish the Quality Streets
None left for grandma
Conked out on sofa
Dreaming of scoffing sweetmeats
