Christmas Oi

With Christmas on the way, We got out the stack of Chrismas CDs.  The Fuzz's hearing is not so good any more, so he has a hard time getting the lyrics to a lot of songs.  But he thought he'd share these with y'all.





No Doubt: Oi To The World Lyrics

Haji was a punk just like any other boy 
And he never had no trouble till he started up his Oi band 
Safe in the garage or singing in the tub 
Till Haji went too far and he plugged in at the pub 

'Twas a cold Christmas eve when Trevor and the skins 
Popped in for a pint and to nick a back of crisps 
Trevor liked the music but not the unity 
He unwound Haji's turban and he knocked him to his knees 

If God came down on Christmas Day 
I know exactly what he'd say 
He'd say "Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins 
But Oi to the world and everybody wins" 

Haji was a bloody mess, he ran out through the crowd 
He said "We'll meet again we are bloody but not unbowed" 
Trevor called his bluff and told him where to meet 
Christmas Day on the roof down at 20 Oxford Street 

If God came down on Christmas Day 
I know exactly what he'd say 
He'd say "Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins 
But Oi to the world and everybody wins" 

On the roof with the nun chucks Trevor broke a lot of bones 
But Haji had a sword like that guy in Indiana Jones 

Police sirens wailing, a bloody dying man 
Haji was alone and abandoned by his band 
Trevor was there fading and still so full of hate 
When the skins left him there and went down the fire escape 
(Oi, Oi) 

And then Haji saw the north star shining more then ever 
So he made a tourniquet from his turban saving Trevor 
They repelled down the roof with the rest of the turban 
And went back to the pub where they bought each other bourbon 

If God came down on Christmas Day 
I know exactly what he'd say 
He'd say "Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins 
But Oi to the world and everybody wins" 

If God came down on Christmas Day 
I know exactly what he'd say 
He'd say "Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins 
But Oi to the world and everybody wins" 
(Oi, Oi)

Kinda sweet song, ain't it.
