It’s A Magic Christmas In Manila it’s almost Christmas in Manila and I’ve landed here on a flight , the snow’s turned into rain and the little people are such a welcome sight .
The Christmas spirit’s everywhere and people are as friendly as can be , It’s makes me feel young again
and the little child in me’s been set free .
There’s music on the streets and there’s tinsel being thrown all over town I’m thinking I’m going to stay a while until the new year comes around .
Glory be I’ve woke up this morning and I can’t believe what I’m seeing , the little ones have taken over the town , at lease for the time being .
They’re playing their pipes and fiddles and they’re all dancing jigs for the people here , it’s a magic Christmas in Manila with the little one’s near and dear .
They have opened up Irish pubs with no closing time for people to leave so you’re all welcome to sit and party on From Christmas to New year’s eve .
Come on over for a visit and sure we can all sing a song or two .
It’s a magic Christmas here ,
and the one we all had dreamt of
has come true .
What a feeling it is to be here with the little people in the crowd .
with the Filipinos speaking Irish ,
it really makes me feel so proud .
Snow has covered all the streets and the rooftops making everything pretty ‘ the little people have come home this Christmas here in Manila City..
