about

While we get ready for spending Christmas with our families, the factory workers in Yiwu are busy year round preparing 60% of the world's Christmas decorations

lyrics

My eyes are filled with a thousand glittering stars,
a million little red coated white bearded men,
tiny fluffy blond white children with wings,
Five thousand spiky polystyrene things

And of course, the baubles and LEDs,
such beauty to to adorn your plastic tree,
the most pretty plastic items that there's ever been
for competitive prices like you've never seen.

Happy Christmas from our factory in Yiwu
Happy Christmas from our factory in Yiwu
You've got a colourful Christmas tree,
I've got some money for my family

一遍又一遍 – Yībiàn yòu yībiàn – again and again
一天又一天 – Yītiān yòu yītiān – day after day
我没有时间 – Wǒ méiyǒu shíjiān – I do not have time
也没有思念 – Yě méiyǒu sīniàn – no thoughts

一遍又一遍
dip it in the glue
一天又一天
put it in glitter machine
我没有时间
hang it up and then
也没有思念
we'll do it all again!

Happy Christmas from our factory in Yiwu
Happy Christmas from our factory in Yiwu
You've got a colourful Christmas tree,
I've got some money for my family

Its all about give and take in this big bad world
you give me money, I give you most of my time
making pretty plastic items that you really need
for competitive prices like you've never seen.

Yībiàn yòu yībiàn,
ten face masks a day
Yītiān yòu yītiān,
engulfed in christmas dust
Wǒ méiyǒu shíjiān,
in my hair and on my hands
Yě méiyǒu sīniàn,
how is this crap in demand?

Jingle bells, Christmas elves,
making fat white bearded men
Jingle bells, Christmas sells,
Some with a saxophone,
No one knows, no one knows,
tidings of comfort and joy,
Plastic toys, plastic toys,
Who is this baby in a cowshe-e-e-d?
一遍又一遍
we could do it in our sleep
一天又一天
if they'd let us have some sleep
我没有时间
I'll stay for just another year
也没有思念
then I'm getting out of here!

Happy Christmas from our factory in Yiwu
Happy Christmas from our factory in Yiwu
You've got a colourful Christmas tree,
I've got some money for my family

Jingle bells, Christmas elves
Jingle bells, Christmas sells
Jingle bells, Christmas elves
Jingle bells, Christmas sells.
