Rhyme Scheme: AABC CCDD CCEF CCGG HHCC CCCC| I must go down to the shops again to the crowded shops go I | A |
| And all I have is a long list of the gifts that I must buy | A |
| And a few bob in the old kick and a mere spot of credit | B |
| For he'll trust me so the boss said but I hate the way he said it | C |
| - | |
| I must go down to the shops again for the call of Christmastide | C |
| Is a stern call and a hard call that may not be denied | C |
| And all I ask is a fair choice at reasonable prices | D |
| And a hard heart for bland blokes with blandishing devices | D |
| - | |
| I must go down to the shops again There's gifts for Mum and Dad | C |
| And Jim's gift and Joe's gift and toy for Peter's lad | C |
| Then all I want are gloves for Clare And June I'll send her roses | E |
| And who's next The list says I've lost it Holy Moses | F |
| - | |
| But I must go down to the shops again to the shops and the milling crowd | C |
| On a hot day and a fierce day when the skies know ne'er a cloud | C |
| And all I ask is a fair spin 'mid the masses overheating | G |
| And the loud bawl of the bored babe and the toy drums beating | G |
| - | |
| I must go down to the shops again for I would be counted still | H |
| With the kind of the free hand in this season of goodwill | H |
| And all I ask is a stout heart to carry on undaunted | C |
| While we scour town for the salt pot that we know Aunt Annie wanted | C |
| - | |
| I must go down to the shops again for they'll ply me sure as fate | C |
| With the pink tie and the puce sock and I must reciprocate | C |
| But all I ask is a long seat when the weary trek is finished | C |
| And enough left for the Yule feast ere the bank roll be dimished | C |
