Christmas postcard (collab/live)- Song research.



From listening to the song my immediate reaction is to use the lyrics to base my type on, although to make this less obvious than it sounds I want to look at lines which aren't obviously linked to the song and could sound more generally Christmas themed. Possibly could add subtle humour with the lyrics just because the song itself is quite playful and untraditionalist- could reflect in visuals. 

Lyrics 
http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/s/slade/merry_christmas_everybody.html

Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
It's the time that every Santa has a ball
Does he ride a red nosed reindeer?

Does a 'ton up' on his sleigh
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?
Chorus:
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
Are you waiting for the family to arrive?
Are you sure you got the room to spare inside?
Does your granny always tell ya that the old songs are the best?
Then she's up and rock 'n' rollin' with the rest
Chorus:
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
What will your daddy do
When he sees your Mama kissin' Santa Claus?

Ah ah
Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall?

Do you ride on down the hillside in a buggy you have made?
When you land upon your head then you've been slayed
Chorus (3x)
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
