It's the festive season
There's singing and shopping and joy
Santa's talking to children
The elves are wrapping toysThe 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 getIt'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 stuffMy brother wants a computer
Sister wants a dolly
Mom wants a brand new bathtub
And Dad just wants alcoholHe spent last Christmas wasted
Crawling along on his knees
Eating turkey that fell on the floor
And watering our Christmas treeIt'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 stuffI'd like a new guitar
Andy wants a radar detector
Trevor wants 13 kittens
And Chris wants a date with ShaniaWe compared all our Christmas lists
And only one thing overlapped
We would all be happiest if
Everyone bought our crapIt'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
