Kinks - Father Christmas lyrics

When I was small I believed in santa claus<br>Though I knew it was my dad<br>And I would hang up my stocking at christmas<br>Open my presents and I'd be glad<br><br>But the last time I played father christmas<br>I stood outside a department store<br>A gang of kids came over and mugged me<br>And knocked my reindeer to the floor<br><br>They said:<br>Father christmas, give us some money<br>Don't mess around with those silly toys.<br>We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over<br>We want your bread so don't make us annoyed<br>Give all the toys to the little rich boys<br><br>Don't give my brother a steve austin outfit<br>Don't give my sister a cuddly toy<br>We don't want a jigsaw or monopoly money<br>We only want the real mccoy<br><br>Father christmas, give us some money<br>We'll beat you up if you make us annoyed<br>Father christmas, give us some money<br>Don't mess around with those silly toys<br><br>But give my daddy a job 'cause he needs one<br>He's got lots of mouths to feed<br>But if you've got one, I'll have a machine gun<br>So I can scare all the kids down the street<br><br>Father christmas, give us some money<br>We got no time for your silly toys<br>We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over<br>Give all the toys to the little rich boys<br><br>Have yourself a merry merry christmas<br>Have yourself a good time<br>But remember the kids who got nothin'<br>While you're drinkin' down your wine<br><br>Father christmas, give us some money<br>We got no time for your silly toys<br>We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over<br>We want your bread, so don't make us annoyed<br>Give all the toys to the little rich boys
