I've got Christmas on my mind,
The advertisers are already on
the ball,
Offering this nice thing and that.
But what am I
to do?
I am a parent, a confused one too,
But I've lost my
job this year,
No money to pay the bills,
No money for this
special remembrance,
What am to say to the children?
It
seems like only yesterday,
When the kids were all smiles
As
Christmas morning came along
And there were presents under the
tree.
Then, this year looked more promising,
Than the year
that had just passed me by.
What do I say or do,
When your
children show off their presents
They've got from Santa
Claus,
And mine will have nothing to show?
Do I say that
Father Christmas passed us by,
Because Daddy's been a naughty
boy,
And lost nearly everything because
Big business are
looking to increase profits,
But cutting people on their
payroll?
God, how one can hate this time of year,
When
you've got nothing to give,
And when you can't expect to
receive.
I've got Christmas on my mind.
