Christmas, When I Was Big As You

Christmas, When I Was Big As You - Slim Dusty/Anne Kirkpatrick/Kate Arneman

Composed by：James Russell

Christmas Christmas

When I was big as you

Meant Christmas trees Christmas trees

And lots of things to do

Dear Santa letters saying

We've been good we've told no lies

And this year I'd like a pony

Like the one old smoky rides

Christmas Christmas

When I was big as you

Meant sing-alongs sing-alongs

Where no one sang in tune

Come Christmas eve

We'd pin our stockings to the wall

And lay in bed for hours thinking

That our chimney seems so small

Me and your grandad took the axe to find a tree

While your granny stayed home and wrapped up

Things we weren't to see

That's what Christmas was

When I was big as you

Christmas Christmas

When I was big as you

Meant Christmas day Christmas day

And parcels wrapped in blue

Socks for my dear old dad

And an apron for dear mum

And though we never had much money

Christmas was always fun

Christmas Christmas

When I was big as you

Meant story time story time

From aunts and uncles too

They'd come to visit us

For lunch on Christmas day

And answer all my Christmas questions

Like I am with you today

Me and your grandad took the axe to find a tree

While your granny stayed home and wrapped up

Things we weren't to see

That's what Christmas was

When I was big as you

That's what Christmas was

When I was big as you
