lyrics

Every year around Christmas time
Grandma gets out the orange rind
Candied cherries and walnuts, too
and makes a big fruitcake for me and you

Grandma's got a secret recipe
She puts in things you don't want to see
Sitting on the table, it looks all right
But no one dares to take a bit

Fruitcake at Christmas time
No, thanks, you can have mine
Fruitcake at Christmas time
No, thanks, you can have mine

She adds currents and spice and everything nice
But I won't try it at any price
She adds fish, snails and oxen tails
It weighs a ton and it's hard as nails

Fruitcake at Christmas time
No, thanks, you can have mine
Fruitcake at Christmas time
No, thanks, you can have mine

Season's over and the cake's still whole
She wraps it up and I carry it home
"Grandma's fruitcake," is all I say
And don't you know, I can't give it away!

Fruitcake at Christmas time
No, thanks, you can have mine
Fruitcake at Christmas time
Fruitcake, you can have mine
Fruitcake, Fruitcake
