It's Christmas Time (And I'm Poor) Songtext

von Rusty

Well it is Christmas time and I am drunk on wine
My kids think I am the grinch
They took the hook
With the new wish book
And I am left with the guilt
The toys they want
Are the ones they flaunt
They cost so much my pockets sore
When we go to the store
I am a real bad man
It's Christmas time and I am poor

My folks used to say
That this is Christ's day
Ain't he a lucky man
That he ain't around to hear the sound
Of my kids screaming on that day
He don't have to think
Of ways to bring Santa Claus
Comin through my door
When I go to the store
I am a real bad man
It's Christmas time and I am poor

Well I have pride like any man
And I give my kids what they want
But I hate the shit, that they sling to them
And I'm left holding the ball
So leave me alone on this scared day
And let them do what they are told
I will drink my wine and put in time
It's Christmas time and I'm poor
