Worst: Greg Lake “I believe in Fater Christmas.”

very nice music, but the lyrics are not those of a believer.

They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a Silent Night
And they told me a fairy story
‘Till I believed in the Israelite
And I believed in Father Christmas
And I looked at the sky with excited eyes
‘Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise

The music is nice because it was stolen from the excellent Lieutenant Kijé Troika melody by Prokofiev.

It’s no surprise to me that a music thief would trash the magical wonder of Christmas.

Yes--I agree. The music is beautiful, but the message is not.

The lyrics weren't very good but the music was great.

It is "Trioka" from Sergei Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kijé Suite.

VERY Russian.
