Kisses in Shannon, big hugs in Rosslare
Landing in Dublin, quick spin to Kildare
Reunions galore, soaking up the good cheer
Not everyone's managed to make it this year
Tommy's in Perth and he's doing just fine
Mike and Sinéad are still doing a line
Jamesie spends all his spare money on beer
He'll be having a faraway Christmas this year
You know, there's no trifle in Bangkok
Tanora in Sydney
Spiced beef in Toronto
Tayto in 'bu Dhabi
The only thing left is to go on the beer
For they're having a Faraway Christmas this year
Sleigh bells are ringing in Mitchelstown Square
Carolers singing in Castletownbere
The Crescent is manic, you can't find a space
But all your Ma wants is to see your sweet face
But Seánie is making good coin down the mines
Claire's got a nice job doing something online
Frankie said something about a girl from New York
We won't see him any time soon back in Cork!
You know, there's no trifle in Bangkok
Tanora in Sydney
Spiced beef in Toronto
Tayto in 'bu Dhabi
The only thing left is to go on the beer
For they're having a Faraway Christmas this year
The rush out the door, we're late for midnight Mass
Monopoly war, Grandad's stories are gas
I'm sure that tonight we'll hear Santy's fine sleigh
You wouldn't want Christmas any other way
But Mary's too busy and Darren's been trying
Michael would like to but can't get the time
Tom and the ould gang from school, did you hear?
They're all going to Bali for Christmas this year!
You know, there's no trifle in Bangkok
Tanora in Sydney
Spiced beef in Toronto
Tayto in 'bu Dhabi
The only thing left is to go on the beer
For they're having a Faraway Christmas this year
Babies once crawling are now on their feet
Some have four grandparents they're yet to meet
The distance gets longer, they wish every year
For some magic way to be both there and here
But these things considered, it's not all that bad
Turkey on the beach, then FaceTime Mam and Dad
You're only young once, the lifestyle is revered
Have a nice Happy Faraway Christmas this year!
You know, there's no trifle in Bangkok
Tanora in Sydney
Spiced beef in Toronto
Tayto in 'bu Dhabi
The only thing left is to go on the beer
For they're having a Faraway Christmas this year
You know, there's no trifle in Bangkok
Tanora in Sydney
Spiced beef in Toronto
Tayto in 'bu Dhabi
The only thing left is to go on the beer
For they're having a Faraway Christmas this year.
