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
