Squeezewas a British rock music band that came to prominence in the new waveperiod of the late 1970s. The group formed in London in 1974. The two main writing partners in the band, Chris Diffordand Glenn Tilbrook, are widely considered to be among the finest melodic pop songwriters of their generation and have often been compared with the legendary Lennon-McCartney partnership, although unlike The Beatles, Difford and Tilbrook's direct collaboration on songs continued through most of the group's career. The original lineup of the band also included pianist Jools Holland, who went on to become a popular solo artist and bandleader, and is now best known as the host of the critically-acclaimed and highly successful British music TV show Later with Jools Holland. Squeeze's lineup in the 1980s also featured the lead vocals of Paul Carrack, who was also one of the lead singers of Mike & The Mechanicsas well as a solo artist.

Christmas Day Lyrics
Squeeze
Mary and Joseph drove into town,
Searching for a place to stay.
The moon was up, and his foot was down
A miracle was on its way.
They tried the hotels, the motels, the bed-and-breakfast
Locals, but no one seemed to have any room.
Better find a double room soon!
Chorus:
So where would Christmas be without...
Mary and Joseph?
Moricrimbe And Wise (UK comedians)
Laurel and Hardy? (US comedians)
Cracker Surprise?
Lights on the pine tree?
And more aftershave?
I'm not forgetting Jesus who was born on Christmas Day!
They found a place with the neon lights
TV, Pool, and Vacancies
The man at the desk didn't hear them right
When the two of them booked for three.
They watched the TV
And deeply, she thought about the needing
Of the heavens to deliver this way
And it happened on Christmas Day
Christmas Daaaaaaaaaaaaaay..
Christmas Daaaaaaaaaaaaaay..
Chorus
Mary and Joseph were so surprised
With admirers around the crib
There was something in their son's eyes
They identically took one in.
Like a Messiah, and a Fire
Like the tread around a tire
That grip all roads
It's to bond you there.
And it happened on Christmas Day!
Christmas daaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
Christmas daaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
Chorus,
