Breaking Up Christmas

A tune that we play at our old-timey session in Bristol (UK) - but only once a year, at our last session of the year, in December.

At that same session we also play: “Christmas Time Will Soon Be Over”

Which I’ve already posted here:

Breaking Up Christmas - Lyrics

For those who care sing along to the tune, here are the lyrics:

Hooray Jake, Hooray John,
Breaking Up Christmas all day long.

Way back yonder a long time ago,
The old folks danced at the do-si-do.

Santa Claus come, done and gone,
Breaking up Christmas right along.

- which are sung to the “B” section of the tune.

Breaking Up Christmas, X:2
