Its the festive season
Theres singing and shopping and joy
Santas talking to children
The elves are wrapping toys
The seasons one of charity
Of peace for all youve met
But though I should be of giving right now
I just want to get

Its christmastime and times are tough
Its christmastime, and we aint got enough
Hey mr. santa claus
I believe in you because
Last year all my parents got me
Was a trip to mississauga
Its christmastime, Im looking for a lot of stuff

My brother wants a computer
Sister wants a dolly
Mom wants a brand new bathtub
And dad just wants alcohol, he
Spent last christmas wasted
Crawling along on his knees
Eating turkey that fell on the floor
And watering our christmas tree

Its christmastime and times are tough
Its christmastime, and we aint got enough
Hey mr. santa claus
I believe in you because
Youve got more credibility than
Any doctor, cop, or lawyer
Its christmastime, Im looking for a lot of stuff

Id like a new guitar
Andy wants a radar detector
Trevor wants 13 kittens
And chris wants a date with shania
We compared all our christmas lists
And only one thing overlapped
We would all be happiest if
Everyone bought our crap

Its christmastime and times are tough
Its christmastime, and we aint got enough
Hey mr. santa claus
We believe in you because
If we count on our so-called friends
Our christmas stockings will be empty
Its christmastime, were looking for a lot of stuff
Its christmastime, were looking for a lot of stuff
