If we make it through December
Everything's gonna be alright I know
It's the coldest time of winter

And I shiver when I see the falling snow

If we make it through December

I got plans to be in a warmer place, come summer time
Maybe even California
If we make it through December we'll be fine


Got laid off down at the factory
And their timing's not the greatest in the world

Heaven knows that I've been working hard
Wanted Christmas to be right for daddy's girl


I don't need to hate December
It's supposed to be the happy time of the year
But my little girl can't understand

Why daddy can't afford no Christmas here

If we make it through December

Everything's gonna be alright I know
It's the coldest time of winter
And I shiver when I see the falling snow


If we make it through December
I got plans to be in a warmer place, come summer time

Maybe even California
If we make it through December we'll be fine
