x-mas in the old mans hat Songtext / Lyric

oh mummy dear on christmas day
again I must complain
I wonder is it santa claus
who makes mistakes again
you see this little jenny brown
she's got so many things
thousands sweets and teddybears
and clothes and golden rings

Christmas is coming
and the goose is getting fat
hey put the penny
in the old mans hat
light up the fire
the wind is blowing cold
santa claus is getting old


oh mummy jenny has too much
and still its not enough
but little peter down the road
got none of all this stuff
he's cold and hungry
can't you see
those balls and bolden shoes
no points for him
no clothes and sweets
and the christmas goods

Christmas is coming
and the goose is getting fat
hey put the penny
in the old mans hat
light up the fire
the wind is blowing cold
santa claus is getting old…

and shall I understand you now
it seems this is not right
some children living in the dark
where others see the light
but santa claus is not to blame
for calling out his law
if jenny brown would simply share
with peter down the road

Christmas is coming
and the goose is getting fat
hey put the penny
in the old mans hat
light up the fire
he wind is blowing cold
santa claus is getting old…
