A Filipino Christmas Song

Lechon roasting on an open fire
Lumpia's frying on the stove.
Aunties in the corner
Saying Tsis-mis with pride
Like they are always in the know.

Everybody knows
That Diniguan
Isn't Chocolate Meat
And if it was
It wouldn't taste quite right

Cuz this Christmas
Is also about the food
You'd find on a Filipino
Table tonight

We know that
Santa's on his way
While we're at
Simbang Gabi
Trying to Pray

But thoughts are back at home
About the warm
Snow-ball soup
Moms calls Ginataan

And so, I can't wait
To dig right in
Pass the Pancit
And Adobo

Like it's been said
Many Times
Many Ways
Maligayang Pasko
