It's the festive season 

There's singing and shopping and joy 

Santa's talking to children 

The elves are wrapping toys 

The season's one of charity 

Of peace for all you've met 

But though I should be of giving right now 

I just want to get 



Chorus: 

It's Christmas time and times are tough 

It's Christmas time, and we ain't got enough 

Hey Mr. Santa Claus 

I believe in you because 

Last year all my parents got me 

was a trip to Mississauga 

It's Christmas time, I'm looking for a lot of stuff 



My brother wants a computer 

Sister wants a dolly 

Mom wants a brand new bathtub 

and Dad just wants alcohol he 

spent last Christmas wasted 

crawling on his knees 

eating turkey that fell on the floor 

and watering our Christmas tree 



Chorus: 

It's Christmas time and times are tough 

It's Christmas time, and we ain't got enough 

Hey Mr. Santa Claus 

I believe in you because 

You've got more credibility than 

any Doctor, Cop, or Lawyer 

It's Christmas time, I'm looking for a lot of stuff 



Mike wants a new guitar 

Andy wants to record the Spice Girls 

Trevor wants 13 kittens 

Chris wants a date with Shania 

we compared all our Christmas lists 

and only one thing overlapped 

We would all be happy if 

everyone bought our crap 



Chorus: 

It's Christmas time and times are tough 

It's Christmas time, and we ain't got enough 

Hey Mr. Santa Claus 

We believe in you because 

If we count on our so called friends 

our Christmas stockings will be empty 

It's Christmas time, we're looking for a lot of stuff
