《Getting Ready for Christmas Day》歌词

[00:00:32] From early in November

[00:00:33] To the last week of December

[00:00:36] I got money matters weighing me down

[00:00:39] Oh the music may be merry

[00:00:41] But it's only temporary

[00:00:43] I know Santa Claus is coming to town

[00:00:47] In the days I work my day job

[00:00:49] In the nights I work my night

[00:00:51] But it all comes down to working man's pay

[00:00:55] Getting ready I'm getting ready

[00:00:58] Ready for Christmas Day

[00:01:03] Getting ready for Christmas Day

[00:01:05] And let me tell you namely

[00:01:07] The undertaker he's getting ready for your body

[00:01:11] Not only that the jailer he's getting ready for you

[00:01:17] Christmas day Hmm And not only the jailer

[00:01:22] But the lawyer the police force

[00:01:24] Now getting ready for Christmas day

[00:01:28] And I want you to bear it in mind

[00:01:32] I got a nephew in Iraq

[00:01:35] It's his third time back

[00:01:37] But it's ending up the way it began

[00:01:41] With the luck of a beginner

[00:01:43] He'll be eating turkey dinner

[00:01:45] On some mountain top in Pakistan

[00:01:49] Getting ready oh we're getting ready

[00:01:57] For the power and the glory

[00:01:59] And the story of the Christmas day

[00:02:03] Getting ready for Christmas day

[00:02:06] Done made it up in your mind that I'm going

[00:02:09] New York Philadelphia Chicago

[00:02:13] I'm going on a trip getting ready

[00:02:17] For Christmas day

[00:02:19] But when Christmas come

[00:02:21] Nobody knows where you'll be

[00:02:24] You might ask me

[00:02:27] I may be layin' in some lonesome grave

[00:02:31] Getting ready for Christmas day

[00:02:51] Getting ready oh we're getting ready

[00:02:58] For the power and the glory

[00:03:01] And the story of the Christmas day

[00:03:06] Yes we're getting ready

[00:03:08] Getting ready ready for your prayers

[00:03:11] I'm going and see my relatives in a distant land

[00:03:16] Getting ready getting ready for Christmas day

[00:03:21] If I could tell my Mom and Dad

[00:03:24] That the things we never had

[00:03:26] Never mattered we were always okay

[00:03:30] Getting ready oh ready for Christmas day

[00:03:39] Ready getting ready

[00:03:45] For the power and the glory

[00:03:47] And the story of the Christmas day
