If we make it through December

Everything's gonna be all right I know

It's the coldest time of winter

And I shiver when I see the falling snow

If we make it through December

Got plans to be in a warmer town

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 I've been working hard

Wanted Christmas to be right

For daddy's girl

I don't mean to hate December

It's meant to be the happy time of year

And my little girl don't understand

Why daddy can't afford no Christmas here
