Lyrics Christmas When I Was Big As You (2021 Remaster) - Slim Dusty

Christmas (Christmas)
When I was big as you
Meant Christmas trees (Christmas trees)
And lots of things to do

Dear Santa letters saying
′We've been good, we′ve told no lies'
And this year I'd like a pony
Like the one old Smoky rides

Christmas (Christmas)
When I was big as you
Meant sing-alongs (sing-alongs)
Where no one sang in tune

Come Christmas Eve
We′d pin our stockings to the wall
And lay in bed for hours thinking
That a chimney seems so small

Me and your grandad took the axe to find a tree
While your gran stayed home and wrapped up things we weren′t to see
That's what Christmas was when I was big as you

Christmas (Christmas)
When I was big as you
Meant Christmas Day (Christmas Day)
And parcels wrapped in blue

Socks for my dear old dad and an apron for dear mum
And though we never had much money
Christmas was always fun

Christmas (Christmas)
When I was big as you
Meant storytime (storytime)
From aunts and uncles too

They′d come to visit us for lunch on Christmas Day
And answer all my Christmas questions
Like I am with you today

Me and your grandad took the axe to find a tree
While your gran stayed home and wrapped up things we weren't to see
That′s what Christmas was when I was big as you

That's what Christmas was when I was big as you
