And the elephants are dancing on the graves of squealing mice

Anyone for tennis wouldn't that be nice

And the ice creams are all melting on the streets of bloody beer

While the beggars stain the pavements with flourescent Christmas cheer

And the Bentley-driving guru is putting up his price
这位开宾利的大师开着豪车
Anyone for tennis wouldn't that be nice

And the prophets in the boutiques give out messages of hope
时装店里的先知传递着希望的信息
With jingle bells and fairy tales and blind colliding scopes
圣诞铃铛童话故事还有盲目的瞄准镜
And you can tell they're all the same underneath the pretty lies
你看得出来在美丽的谎言之下都是一样的
Anyone for tennis wouldn't that be nice

You can bring a bowl of rice and then a glass of water too

And fate is setting up the chessboard while death rolls out the dice

Anyone for tennis wouldn't that be nice
