If we make it through December
Everythings gonna be all right I know
It's the coldest time of winter
And I shivver when I see the fallin snow (change "shivver" to "shiver")
If we make it through December
I got plans of bein in a warmer town come summer time (change "of bein" to "to be" and delete the "I" in the beginning of the sentence)
Maybe even California
If we make it through December we'll be fine
I got laid off down at the factory (delete "I")
And there time is not the greatest in the world
Heaven knows I been workin' hard
I wanted Christmas to be right for daddy's girl
Now 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 tree (change "tree" to gift")
If we make it through December
Everythings gonna be alright I know
It's the coldest time of winter
And I shivver when I see the fallin' snow (change "shivver" to "shiver")
If we make it through December
I got plans of bein' in a warmer town come summer time (change "of bein" to "to be" and delete the "I" in the beginning of the sentence)
Maybe even California
If we make it through December we'll be fine
