LYRICS
Written by Toby Starks
It's Another Bower Grove Christmas
We know that Santa is close
That slight bell sound means we're holiday bound
Now Christmas is coming around
​
It's time for celebrations and it's for decorations
It's time for fun and to fill up our tums with turkey and figgy pudding
​
It's Another Bower Grove Christmas
We know that Santa is close
That slight bell sound means we're holiday bound
Now Christmas is coming around
​
We're all waiting for the snow and the chilly winds to blow
We'll be filled up with glee when under our tree; our presents wrapped up with a bow
​
It's Another Bower Grove Christmas
We know that Santa is close
That slight bell sound means we're holiday bound
Now Christmas is coming around
​
It's time for us to be sharing
Reminding us all to be caring
The hoops and the holly
The feeling so jolly
The Christmas fair needs preparing
​
It's Another Bower Grove Christmas
We know that Santa is close
That slight bell sound means we're holiday bound
Now Christmas is coming around
Sitting down for dinner all getting thinner and thinner
But I'm sat with my friends so the fun never ends
Waiting together feels like forever
But I'm sat with my friends so the fun never ends
Waiting together feels like forever
Here comes the plate and it's gonna be great
With turkey and stuffing and custard and pudding
It's Another Bower Grove Christmas
​
It's Another Bower Grove Christmas
We know that Santa is close
That slight bell sound means we're holiday bound
Now Christmas is coming around
​
That slight bell sound means we're holiday bound
Now Christmas is coming around
