A Very Paul McCartney Christmas
(tune: Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time)

My career’s done
My talent’s gone
Forty years since
Good “Macca” songs

Simply wishing now that I would die
Simply wishing now that I would die

Mull of Kintyre
What’s that shit?
That’s far from
The worst of it

Simply wishing now that I would die
Simply wishing now that I would die

I can’t think of lyrics for this bridge
Ding dong, ding dong
ding dong, ding ooo
Ooo ooo toot toot toot toot toot toot

Can’t deny
It’s not wrong
Shoulda been shot
Instead of John

Simply wishing now that I would die
Simply wishing now that I would die
