it’s a warm December evening the moonlit ocean’s calm and I can see Matthew’s laundry hanging underneath the coconut palm the whistling frogs are whistling the sky’s a-glitter with stars and the karaoke singers are picking out carols in the south coast bars ’cause it’s Christmas in Barbados and for me that’s something new but I don’t miss Christmas back home half as much as I’m missing you yes it’s Christmas in Barbados and I’m feeling just a little bit blue ’cause I don’t miss Christmas back home half as much as I’m missing you no I don’t miss the evergreens I sure don’t miss the snow and the chill and I don’t miss the crowds and the shopping and my whopping Visa bill and I don’t miss the church bells I turned pagan so long ago that the only thing I miss is the kissing underneath the mistletoe ’cause it’s Christmas in Barbados and for me that’s something new but I don’t miss Christmas back home half as much as I’m missing you yes it’s Christmas in Barbados and I’m feeling just a little bit blue ’cause I don’t miss Christmas back home half as much as I’m missing you and in a Bridgetown bar I heard a reggae band singing "Jingle Bells, jingle bells" and I almost bought a wreath for my door made of wicker and seashells and at the Hastings Mall they’ve got tinsel garlands and under a tropical sky a cut-out of Santa and his reindeer flying by ’cause it’s Christmas in Barbados and for me that’s something new but I don’t miss Christmas back home half as much as I’m missing you yes it’s Christmas in Barbados and I don’t know what I’m gonna do ’cause I don’t miss Christmas back home half as much as I’m missing you oh it’s a warm December evening the moonlit ocean’s calm and I can see Matthew’s laundry hanging underneath the coconut palm |
