Tell me a story, tell me a story.
Tell me all about long ago.
Tell me a story, tell me a story.
Tell me one that I need to know.
I know stories all about Christmas Eve
(Oooh, Christmas Eve!)
Reindeer and flying sleighs: not easy to believe.
(No, no-oh, not easy to believe.)
I've seen lots of videos full of snow.
(Oooh, full of snow!)
Santa cruising over rooftops to the North Pole.
(To the North Pole)
All good fun, but what's it all about?
Where does it lead us? Help me work it out.
Tell me a story, tell me a story.
Tell me all about long ago.
Tell me a story, tell me a story.
Tell me one that I need to know.
TV stars wear tinsel from head to toe,
(Oooh, head to toe!)
Cooking up Christmas treats on cookery shows.
(Hey, hey-ey, on cookery shows.)
In the cities people are on the go.
(Oooh, on the go!)
Tell me, do they remember? Do they all know?
(Do they all know?)
That quietly one starlit night,
At Bethlehem by soft moonlight,
The planet welcomed newborn life
Within a stable's walls.
No tinsel there at all, no tinsel there at all.
Tell me the story, tell me the story,
The story that I need to know.
