Tinsel and ribbon, letters and cards
Coming my way on my birthday
Stamps with Santa, the Queen and birds
All over the world sending their regards
Morning papers not so good news but hey
Tinsel and ribbon, letters and cards
Out of the blue I got a postcard
Saying he’s sorry for making me cry
Stamps with Santa, the Queen and birds
This morning some snow in our yards
Quite foggy and the sky is so gray
Tinsel and ribbon, letters and cards
Coffee with my friend I’m looking forwards
Hope the pandemic soon would go away
Stamps with Santa, the Queen and birds
Maligayang bati in other words
That’s Filipino and all I can say
Tinsel and ribbon, letters and cards
Stamps with Santa, the Queen and birds*
