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



Chorus:

It's Christmas time and times are tough

It's Christmas time, 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 Christmas time, 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 on his knees

eating turkey that fell on the floor

and watering our Christmas tree



Chorus:

It's Christmas time and times are tough

It's Christmas time, 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 Christmas time, I'm looking for a lot of stuff



Mike wants a new guitar

Andy wants to record the Spice Girls

Trevor wants 13 kittens

Chris wants a date with Shania

we compared all our Christmas lists

and only one thing overlapped

We would all be happy if

everyone bought our crap



Chorus:

It's Christmas time and times are tough

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