'Though I knew it was my dad
CAnd I would hang up my stocking at Christmas
Open my presents and GI'd be glad
AmBut the last time I Emplayed Father Christmas
AmI stood outside a depE7artment store
CA gang of kids came over and mugged me
They knocked my reindeer Gto the floor
And said FFather CChristmas Fgive us some Cmoney
