Scouting for Girls - Xmas in the 80s

The lights are up around my house
This year ain't gonna get me down
My Christmas jumper says relax
I think its time to take it back
When we were younger
And Phil Collins was a drummer

Two Ronnies they're on my TV
Homemade paper chains around the tree
Four channels and no internet
It hadn't been invented yet
Somehow we made do
We were happier I think too

Christmas in the 80s, in the 80s, in the 80s
Them the days that made me, they changed me, they gave me
Airwolf and the A Team
Now All I do is day dream 'bout
Christmas in the 80s, in the 80s, in the 80s
Before this world went crazy, so crazy, it gave me
A Sony cassette Walkman
A toy Millennium Falcon
Happy Christmas to you
Happy Christmas

Back then everything a kid could want
Was in the back of the Argos catalogue
Underlining films in the radio times
The Great Escape, Live and Let Die
Was on the telly
Nan was on the sherry

My little Pony, Pink Care Bears
Teddy Ruxpin, Simon says
Eveil Kinevil, Rubik cubes
My mum used to wrap up satsumas
In my stocking
Even though I didn't want them

There was no thing as Santa
He was called father

Christmas in the 80s, in the 80s, in the 80s
Them the days that made me, they changed me, they gave me
Airwolf and the A Team
Now all I do is day dream 'bout
Christmas in the 80s, in the 80s, in the 80s
Before the world went crazy, so crazy, it gave me
A Sony cassette Walkman
A toy Millennium Falcon
Happy Christmas to you
Happy Christmas
Happy Christmas to you
Happy Christmas
Them the days that made me
Christmas in the Eighties

Happy Christmas to you
Happy Christmas
Happy Christmas to you
Happy Christmas
Them the days that made me
Christmas in the Eighties

Christmas in the 80s, in the 80s, in the 80s
Them the days that made me, they changed me, they gave me
Airwolf and the A Team
Now all I do is day dream 'bout
Christmas in the 80s, in the 80s, in the 80s
Before the world went crazy, so crazy, it gave me
A Sony cassette Walkman
A toy Millennium Falcon
Happy Christmas to you
Happy Christmas
Happy Christmas to you
Happy Christmas
Them the days that made me
Christmas in the Eighties

Happy Christmas to you
Happy Christmas
Happy Christmas to you
Happy Christmas
Them the days that made me
Christmas in the Eighties
