I'm Walking Backwards for Christmas

I'm Walking Backwards for Christmas - Peter Sellers/Sophia Loren

I'm walking backwards for christmas

Across the irish sea

I'm walking backwards for christmas

It's the only thing for me

I've tried walking sideways

And walking to the front

But people just look at me

And say it's a publicity stunt

I'm walking backwards for christmas

To prove that i love you

An imigrantal lad a loved an irish colleen

From dubling galway bay

He longed for her arms

But she spurned his charms

And sailed over the foam away

She left the lad by himself on his own

All alone a-sorrowing

And sadly he dreamed or at least that's the

Way it seemed buddy

That an angel choir dum him

An angel choir did sing

Oh i'm walking backwards for christmas

Across the irish sea

I'm walking backwards for christmas

It's the finest thing for me

And so i've tried walking sideways

And walking to the front

But people just laughed and said

It's a publicity stunt

So i'm walking backwards for christmas

To prove that i love you
