[Verse 1: Damian Kulash] When I was small, I believed in Santa Claus Though I knew it was my dad And I would hang up my stockings at Christmas Open my presents, and I'd be glad But the last time I played Father Christmas I stood outside a department store A gang of kids came over and mugged me And knocked my reindeer to the floor They said [Chorus A: Damian Kulash] Father Christmas, give us some money Don't mess around with those silly toys We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over We want your bread so don't make us annoyed Give all the toys to the little rich boys [Verse 2] Don't give my brother a Steve Austin outfit Don't give my sister a cuddly toy
We don't want no Jinx or Monopoly money We only want the real McCoy [Chorus B: Damian Kulash] Father Christmas, give us some money We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over Father Christmas, give us some money Don't mess around with those silly toys [Verse 3] Give my daddy a job 'cos he needs one He's got lots of mouths to feed But if you've got one, I'll take a machine gun So I can scare all the kids on the street [Chorus A] [Verse 4] Have your self a very merry Christmas Have yourself a good time But remember all the kids who got nothing As you're drinking down your wine [Chorus A](x2)
