The Sunderland Carol... (with thanks to Sir Cliff Richard for the tune) Christmas Time, Miss a Goal and Whine, Mum, Dad and Uncle, all doing time, with Dogs looking dire, and Kids taking 'E', It's time to accept your position 20. A time for losing, A time for conceding, A time for break-ins, The vultures are feeding, No fans have come, The stands are so draughty, Nothing can help you, not even McCarthy. Christmas time, Hammered on cheap wine, No money in January, No players want to sign McCarthy's a liar, He said you'd stay up, Heading for the Championship and straight out the Cup. A time for Arca, to request a transfer, A time for the Toon, to win at a canter, Christmas is here, And soon New Years Day, Good riddance La Tallec, Good bye Andy Gray Christmas Time, McCarthy to resign, Him being around, Is a Premiership crime, With his bunch of no-hopers, 5 points from 51, Head back to the Championship, It'll probably be more fun. Christmas Time, Miss a Goal and Whine, Mum, Dad and Uncle, all doing time, with Dogs looking dire, and Kids taking 'E', It's time to accept your position 20.
