(Verse 1)
Every year near the end of December
Comes Christmas a time to remember
The good times we've had on a bender
So happy, Tibb's Eve to you
(Verse 2)
So let's go and have a few beers
Next week, willl be New Years
And then we'll shed a few tears
So happy, Tibbs Eve to you
(Chorus)
Tibb’s Eve is the time for celebration
Tibb's Eve is the time for libation
So raise up a glass to your friends and relations
And Happy, Tibb’s Eve to you
And Happy, Tibb’s Eve to you
(Bridge)
Tibb's Eve is the time for good cheer
Whisky, wine and cold beer
So raise up your glass
And drink to the past
And Happy, Tibb's Eve to you
(Instrumental break)
(Verse 3)
Can't wait for Christmas I'll grant ya
Can't wait to see dear old Santa
From St. Mary's Bay to Placentia
Happy, Tibb's Eve to you
(Chorus)
Tibb’s Eve is the time for celebration
Tibb's Eve is the time for libation
So raise up a glass to your friends and relations
And Happy, Tibb’s Eve to you
(Chorus)
Tibb’s Eve is the time for celebration
Tibb's Eve is the time for libation
So raise up a glass to your friends and relations
And Happy, Tibb’s Eve to you
And Happy, Tibb’s Eve to you
