Lyrics
No use knocking on the window,
There is nothing we can do, sir.
All the beds are booked already,
There is nothing left for you, sir.

Chorus:
Standing in the rain, knocking on the window,
Knocking on the window on a Christmas day.
There he is again knocking on the window.
Knocking on the window in the same old way.

No use knocking on the window,
Some are lucky, some are not, sir.
We are Christian men and women
But we’re keeping what we’ve got, sir!

No we haven’t got a manger,
No we haven’t got a stable.
We are Christian men and women,
Ever willing, never able!

Christ the Lord has gone to heaven,
One day he‘ll be coming back, sir,
In this house He will be welcome
But we hope he won’t be black, sir!

Wishing you a merry Christmas,
We will now go back to bed, sir.
Till you woke us with your knocking
We were sleeping like the dead, sir!
