Father Christmas Lyrics

The movie score that Toto did that Drummer couldn't remember was Dune.  Pretty

unmemorable movie.

Father Christmas:  Off "Come Dancing With the Kinks   1977-1986"

When I was small I believed in Santa Clause

Though I knew it was my dad

And I would hang up my stocking 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:

"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

"Don't give my brother a (?) outfit

 Don't give my sister a cuddly toy

 We don't 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 got one, I'll have a machine gun

 So I can scare all the kids down the street

"Father Christmas, give us some money

 We got no time for your silly toys

 We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over

 Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Have yourself a merry merry Christmas

Have yourself a good time

But remember the kids who got nothin'

While you're drinkin' down your wine

"Father Christmas, give us some money

 We got no time for your silly toys

 We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over

 We want your bread, so don't make us annoyed

In case anyone's interested, and for Mr. Ed's (I've never met the guy)

enlightenment, I think that "Hit Stix" are made by Worlds of Wonder, and not

Mattel (who makes the "Samba Slaps").
