Lyrics

[00:23] When I was young I believed in santa claus
[00:26] Though I knew it was my dad
[00:29] And I would hang up my stocking at christmas
[00:32] Open my presents then I'd be glad
[00:35] But the last time I played father christmas
[00:38] I stood outside a department store
[00:41] A gang of kids came over and mugged me
[00:44] And knocked my reindeer to the floor
[00:48] They said:
[00:49] Father christmas, give us some money
[00:52] Don't mess around with those silly toys.
[00:55] We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
[00:58] We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
[01:02] Give all the toys to the little rich boys
[01:15] Don't give my brother a steve austin outfit
[01:18] Don't give my sister a cuddly toy
[01:21] We don't want a jigsaw or monopoly money
[01:24] We only want the real McCoy
[01:27] Father christmas,
[01:29] give us some money
[01:31] We'll beat you up if you make us annoyed
[01:33] Father christmas,
[01:35] give us some money
[01:37] Don't mess around with those silly toys
[01:40] But give my daddy a job cause he needs one
[01:43] He's got lots of mouths to feed
[01:46] But if you've got one,I'll have a machine gun
[01:49] So I can scare all the kids down the street
[01:55] Father christmas,
[01:57] give us some money
[01:59] We got no time for your silly toys
[02:02] We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
[02:05] We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
[02:08] Give all the toys to the little rich boys
[02:30] Have yourself a merry merry Christmas
[02:33] Have yourself a good time
[02:36] But remember the kids who got nothin
[02:40] While you're drinkin' down your wine
[02:51] Father Christmas,
[02:53] give us some money
[02:55] We got no time for your silly toys
[02:58] Father Christmas,
[03:00] please hand it over,
[03:01] We'll beat you up, so don't make us annoyed
[03:05] Father Christmas
[03:06] give us some money
[03:09] Don't mess around with those silly toys
[03:11] We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
[03:14] We want your bread, so don't make us annoyed
[03:17] Give all the toys to the little rich boys
