Author’s Note - B-Side of "Step Into Christmas" 1973 - https://youtu.be/FaRWGmWUjPs [Intro] / / [Verse 1] Sitting here on Christmas Eve with a brandy in my hand Oh I’ve had a few too many and it’s getting hard to stand I keep hearing noises from my fireplace I must be going crazy or the brandy’s won the race. And I keep hearing [Chorus] Ho! Ho! Ho! Guess who’s here? Your fat and jolly friend draws near Ho! Ho! Ho! Surprise surprise. The bearded weirdy’s just arrived Ho! Ho! Ho! Guess who’s here? Your fat and jolly friend draws near Ho! Ho! Ho! Surprise surprise. The bearded wierdy’s just arrived [Verse 2] On my roof there’s snorting sounds and bells inside my head My vision’s blurred with color and all he sees is red There’s a pair of large sized wellies coming down my flue And the smell of burning rubber oh is filling up the room. I keep hearing [Chorus] Ho! Ho! Ho! Guess who’s here? Your fat and jolly friend draws near Ho! Ho! Ho! Surprise surprise. The bearded weirdy’s just arrived Ho! Ho! Ho! Guess who’s here? Your fat and jolly friend draws near Ho! Ho! Ho! Surprise surprise. The bearded wierdy’s just arrived [Instrumental] / / / / And we keep hearing [Chorus] Ho! Ho! Ho! Guess who’s here? Your fat and jolly friend draws near Ho! Ho! Ho! Surprise surprise. The bearded weirdy’s just arrived Ho! Ho! Ho! Guess who’s here? Your fat and jolly friend draws near Ho! Ho! Ho! Surprise surprise. The bearded wierdy’s just arrived [Chorus] Ho! Ho! Ho! Guess who’s here? Your fat and jolly friend draws near Ho! Ho! Ho! Surprise surprise. The bearded weirdy’s just arrived Ho! Ho! Ho! Hee! Hee! Hee! Watford is the team for me Ho! Ho! Ho! Surprise surprise. The bearded wierdy’s just arrived [Chorus] Ho! Ho! Ho! Guess who’s here? Your fat and jolly friend draws near Ho! Ho! Ho! Surprise surprise. The bearded weirdy’s just arrived Ho! Ho! Ho! Guess who’s here? Your fat and jolly friend draws near Ho! Ho! Ho! Surprise surprise. The bearded wierdy’s just arrived...

La chanson évoque une scène festive de la veille de Noël, où l'on ressent une ambiance joyeuse mêlée à une dose d'ivresse. L'interlocuteur, en train de savourer un brandy, imagine des bruits mystérieux provenant de sa cheminée, ce qui le conduit à se demander s'il est en train de perdre la raison ou si l'alcool lui joue des tours. Les couplets font référence à l'arrivée inattendue d'un personnage jovial, qui semble bien connu, et qui crée un mélange d'excitation et de surprise. Le contexte se situe autour des traditions de Noël, où la convivialité et l'humour sont souvent à l'honneur. Les références à des bruits de traîneau et à des signes d'une présence animée renforcent l'image du dépaysement typique des fêtes, enrichie par une atmosphère légère et décalée. C'est un moment qui invite à la célébration et à la magie de la saison, où le fantastique et le rire se rencontrent.
