Lyrics
WHEN THE ROBIN STARTS a' BOBBIN
Verse 1
The robin tucks its wings
Tuck the presents tight
Tags n bows show
For loved n little ones
Someone smiles across the miles
A clock Chime's its festive time
Chorus
When the robin starts a bobbin
It sings a chirpy tune
May Santa grant your wishes
Luck be with you
When the robin starts a bobbin
It sings a chirpy tune
Santa's riding helter-skelter
To get to you
When the robin starts a bobbin
It sings a chirpy tune
Instead of sending kisses
There's a place for you
When the robin starts a bobbin
It's chirping Santa's tune
Yo ho ho Yo ho ho
Merry Christmas to you
Verse 2
The robin tuck's it wings
People know the stars
Are a guiding light of
Twinkle angel lights
That guard the corners of the world
Chorus
When the robin starts a bobbin
It sings a chirpy tune
May Santa grant your wishes
Luck be with you
When the robin starts a bobbin
It sings a chirpy tune
Santa's riding helter-skelter
To get to you
When the robin starts a bobbin
It sings a chirpy tune
Instead of sending kisses
There's a place for you
When the robin starts a bobbin
It's chirping Santa's tune
Yo ho ho Yo ho ho
Merry Christmas to you
Verse 3
The stars are wise n old
As bold as Santa Claws
Dares to go the miles
The grand old elf sits by n'
Waits for 25th
To ride those helter-skelter sky's
Chorus
When the robin starts a bobbin
It sings a chirpy tune
May Santa grant your
Wishes
Luck be with you
When the robin starts a bobbin
It sings a chirpy tune
Santa's riding helter-skelter
To get to you
When the robin starts a bobbin
It sings a chirpy tune
Instead of sending kisses
There's a place for you
When the robin starts a bobbin
It's chirping Santa's tune
Yo ho ho Yo ho ho
Merry Christmas to you
Instrumental
Yo ho ho Yo ho ho
Merry Christmas to you
