Life is busy around Albert Square

In December every year

Christmas market in full swing

For shopping and a glass of beer

Stalls are cluttered one by one

Amid the crowded streets

Vendors displaying their festive wares

In order to compete

Christmas music in the background

To put one in the mood

Aroma of bratwurst sizzling on the coals

Pangs of hunger need some food

People always in a hurry

Last minute presents to buy

Gifts from all over Europe

To tempt the shoppers eye

Energy and money both well spent

To depart it's almost time

But not before a Christmas toast

With a mug of hot mulled wine
