Verse 2
Well, I'll leave you with a
little early
Christmas present.
I'll say that because I've just
noticed that in
George
Square and down
Argyle
Street and
all that,
there's an incredible amount of
D 
Christmas lights going on down there.
So I wish you good night
and leave you with this little carol.
It is a carol.
D 
If you do recognise it, do join in.
D
