Father Christmas — текст песни (Kinks)

The movie score that Toto did that Drummer couldn`t remember was Dune. Pretty
unmemorable movie.
Father Christmas: Off Come Dancing With the Kinks 1977-1986
When I was small I believed in Santa Clause
Though I knew it was my dad
And I would hang up my stocking at Christmas
Open my presents and I`d be glad
But the last time I played Father Christmas
I stood outside a department store
A gang of kids came over and mugged me
And knocked my reindeer to the floor
They said:
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don`t mess around with those silly toys.
We`ll beat you up if you don`t hand it over
We want your bread so don`t make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys
Don`t give my brother a (?) outfit
Don`t give my sister a cuddly toy
We don`t want a jigsaw or monopoly money
We only want the real McCoy
Father Christmas, give us some money
We`ll beat you up if you make us annoyed
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don`t mess around with those silly toys
But give my daddy a job `cause he needs one
He`s got lots of mouths to feed
But if you`ve got one, I`ll have a machine gun
So I can scare all the kids down the street
Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
We`ll beat you up if you don`t hand it over
Give all the toys to the little rich boys
Have yourself a merry merry Christmas
Have yourself a good time
But remember the kids who got nothin`
While you`re drinkin` down your wine
Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
We`ll beat you up if you don`t hand it over
We want your bread, so don`t make us annoyed
In case anyone`s interested, and for Mr. Ed`s (I`ve never met the guy)
enlightenment, I think that Hit Stix are made by Worlds of Wonder, and not
Mattel (who makes the Samba Slaps).
