[Verse 1]
Christmas comes but once a year, and that's a lucky break
For when it comes, it leaves a trail of chaos in its wake
Miles of scrunched-up paper, yards of burning skin
An alcoholic vapour 'round the yellow-lidded bin
So when the day is over and your relatives have flown
Sink into your sofa with an addle-pated groan
But come what may on Boxing Day, don't let a second slip
For a grand New Year adventure, I know the perfect trip
[Chorus]
Let's swing (Swing) around the sun (Around the sun)
Let's head out there on January 1
We'll ride around thе circuit, by now, you know the way
It's an oldie but a goodie, it's our fondеst roundelay
So play a bar from that well-worn repertoire
Let's do another doughnut 'round that great big star
We might as well, I think it could be fun
Let's swing around the sun
[Verse 2]
Every year's a battleground, some you're bound to lose
It's hard to turn your fate around when fortune turns the screws
If you come a cropper and you're feeling insecure
It might not seem improper to decline another tour
But put your trust in travel 'cause I'm here to testify
This zillion tons of gravel is the only way to fly
And I bet some day along the way your faith will be restored
Come sit beside me on the ride, I'm happy you're on board
Christmas comes but once a year, and that's a lucky break
For when it comes, it leaves a trail of chaos in its wake
Miles of scrunched-up paper, yards of burning skin
An alcoholic vapour 'round the yellow-lidded bin
So when the day is over and your relatives have flown
Sink into your sofa with an addle-pated groan
But come what may on Boxing Day, don't let a second slip
For a grand New Year adventure, I know the perfect trip
[Chorus]
Let's swing (Swing) around the sun (Around the sun)
Let's head out there on January 1
We'll ride around thе circuit, by now, you know the way
It's an oldie but a goodie, it's our fondеst roundelay
So play a bar from that well-worn repertoire
Let's do another doughnut 'round that great big star
We might as well, I think it could be fun
Let's swing around the sun
[Verse 2]
Every year's a battleground, some you're bound to lose
It's hard to turn your fate around when fortune turns the screws
If you come a cropper and you're feeling insecure

But put your trust in travel 'cause I'm here to testify

And I bet some day along the way your faith will be restored
Come sit beside me on the ride, I'm happy you're on board
