It's the festive season

There's singing and shopping and joy

Santa's talking to children

The elves are wrapping toys

The season's one of charity

Of peace for all you've met

But though i should be of giving right now

I just want to get



It's christmastime and times are tough

It's christmastime, and we ain't got enough

Hey mr. santa claus

I believe in you because

Last year all my parents got me

Was a trip to mississauga

It's christmastime, i'm 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



It's christmastime and times are tough

It's christmastime, and we ain't got enough

Hey mr. santa claus

I believe in you because

You've got more credibility than

Any doctor, cop, or lawyer

It's christmastime, i'm looking for a lot of stuff



I'd 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



It's christmastime and times are tough

It's christmastime, and we ain't 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

It's christmastime, we're looking for a lot of stuff

It's christmastime, we're looking for a lot of stuff
