If we make it through December
Everything's gonna be alright I know
It's the coldest time of winter
And I shiver when I see the falling snow

If we make it through December
I got plans to be in a warmer place
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 that I've been working hard
Wanted Christmas to be right
For daddy's girl

I don't need to hate December
It's supposed to be the happy
Time of the year
But my little girl can't understand
Why daddy can't afford no Christmas here

If we make it through December
Everything's gonna be alright I know
It's the coldest time of winter
And I shiver when I see the falling snow

If we make it through December
I got plans to be in a warmer place
Come summer time maybe even California
If we make it through December we'll be fine
