I'm walking backwards to Christmas

across the Irish sea

I'm walking backwards to Christmas

its the only thing for me

I've tried walking sideways and walking back to front

people in the sanitorium say

Spike! why don't you go by punt?

I say no! I prefer walking backwards to Christmas

to prove I love not being whitewashed blue!
