He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Chorus:
Go, tell it on the mountain,
over the hills and everywhere.
Go, tell it on the mountain
that Jesus Christ is born.
While shepards kept their watching
o'er silent flocks by night,
behond, throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light.
Chorus
The shepards feared and trembled
when lo, above the earth
rang out the angel chorus
that hailed our Saviour's birth!
Chorus
Down in a lonely manger
the humble Christ was born,
and God sent our salvation
that blessed Christmas morn.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Or, perhaps, about telling about the birth of Jesus (y'know that who reason we even have CHRSITmas!)
