Little Wheels Spin and Spin
Big wheels turn around & around (2x)
Merry Christmas Jingle Bells
Christ is born and the devils in hell
Hearts they shrink Pockets swell
Everybody know and nobody tell
Little Wheels Spin and Spin
Big wheels turn around & around (2x)
Oh the sins of Caesars men
Cry the pious citizens
Who petty thieve the 5 & 10s
And the big wheels turn around and around
Little Wheels Spin and Spin
Big wheels turn around & around (2x)
Blame the angels, blame the fates,
Blame the Jews or your sister Kate
Teach your children who to hate
And the big wheels turn around and around
Little Wheels Spin and Spin
Big wheels turn around & around (2x)
Turn your back on weeds youve hoed
Silly sinful seeds youve sowed
Add your straw to the camels load
Pray like hell when your world explode
Little Wheels Spin and Spin
Big wheels turn around & around (2x)
Swing your girl fiddler say
Later on the piper pay
Do see do, swing and sway
Dead will dance on judgement day
Little Wheels Spin and Spin
Big wheels turn around & around (4x)
