Father Christmas lyrics
by Kinks



The movie score that Toto did that Drummer couldn't remember was Dune. Prettyunmemorable movie.Father Christmas: Off "Come Dancing With the Kinks 1977-1986"When I was small I believed in Santa ClauseThough I knew it was my dadAnd I would hang up my stocking at ChristmasOpen my presents and I'd be gladBut the last time I played Father ChristmasI stood outside a department storeA gang of kids came over and mugged meAnd knocked my reindeer to the floorThey said:"Father Christmas, give us some moneyDon't mess around with those silly toys.We'll beat you up if you don't hand it overWe want your bread so don't make us annoyedGive 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 boysHave yourself a merry merry ChristmasHave yourself a good timeBut 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 annoyedIn 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 notMattel (who makes the "Samba Slaps").Tim Carter
