when I was young I believed in Santa Claus
though I knew it was my dad
and we laid out the stockings at christmas
open my presents and I'd be glad
then one day I was playin' father christmas
I stood outside a department store
a gang of kids came over and mugged me
they knocked my reindeer to the floor
they said
father christmas, give us some money
don't mess around with those silly toys
we'll beat you up if you dont hand them over
we want some bread so dont make us annoyed
give all the toys to the little rich boys
don't give my brother a steve austin outfit
don't give my sister a cuddly toy
we dont want a jigsaw or monopoly money
we only want the real mccoy
father christmas, give us some money
we'll beat you up if you make us annoyed
father christmas, give us some money
don't mess around with those silly toys
but give my daddy a job cause he needs one
he's got lots of mouths to feed
but if you've have one, I'll take a machine gun
so I can scare all the kids down the street
father christmas, give us some money
don't mess around with those silly toys
we'll beat you up if you dont hand them over
give all the toys to the little rich boys
have yourself a merry merry christmas
have yourself a good time
don't forget all the kids who have nothin'
while you're drinkin' down your wine
father christmas, give us some money
don't mess around with those silly toys
we'll beat you up if you dont hand them over
we want your bread, so dont make us annoyed
give all the toys to the little rich boys
have yourself a merry merry christmas
have yourself a good time
