C7 Gm7 C7

Gm7 C7 Gm7 C7 Gm7Then my only worry, was for Christmas what would be my toy,

C7 Gm7 C7

D7 E7 Am7 Cm6Even though we sometimes, would not get a thing,

D7 E7 Am7 D7#5#9We were happy with the, joy the day would bring,

Gm7 C7 Gm7 C7 Gm7Sneakin out the back door, to hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine

Gm7 C7 Gm7 C7 Gm7Greeted at the back door with "Boy, I thought I told you not to go outside",

D7 E7 Am7 Cm6Tryin your best to bring the water to your eyes

D7 E7 Am7 D7#5#9Thinkin it might stop her from whoopin' your behind
