[Verse 1: The Kinks] 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: The Kinks] 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: The Kinks] 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 [Verse 3: The Kinks] Father Christmas, give us some money We'll beat you up if you make us some wine Father Christmas, give us some money Don't mess around with those silly toys [Verse 4: The Kinks] 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: The Kinks] Father Christmas, give us some money We got no time for youre 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 5: The Kinks] Have your self a merry merry Christmas Have yourself a good time But remember the kids who got nothing While you're drinking down your wine [Chorus: The Kinks] Father Christmas, give us some money We got no time for youre silly toys Father Christmas plese hand it over we'll beat up don't make us annoyed Father Christmas, give us some money Don't mess around with those silly toys 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
