Among the fondest memories From days in PNG Thought was meant in jest Told over a beer or three
A Mate from the Highlands Came to visit by the sea Always good to catch up And share good company
He said he had found us Just the thing for me The boys will love it Just you wait and see
We woke Christmas morning And out in the street Someone was playing ‘Jingle Bells’ It sounded ‘kinda’ sweet
We opened up the curtains And there to our surprise We saw a jolly Santa Claus Or was it Lawrie in disguise
Whistling while unloading Something from the deck Some long eared creature A red ribbon round it’s neck
It’s a little donkey HUMBUG! I cried Yes, a Christmas donkey That once took Mary on her ride All the way to Bethlehem With Joseph by her side There at the Nativity Of her precious Saviour child
And so by the telling I’m sure you can see How Humbug became A part of the family
(Instrumental break)
And it came to be each Christmas As we gathered round the tree Humbug would come, complete the scene Standing where a manger, once had been Baby Jesus and His little donkey
