Getting Ready for Christmas Day

From early in November to the last week of December

I got money matters weighing me down

Oh the music may be merry, it's only temporary

I know Santa Claus is coming to town

In the days I work my day job, in the nights I work my night

But it all comes down to working man's pay

I'm getting ready, I'm getting ready, ready for Christmas Day

Hey

I got a nephew in Iraq, it's his third time back

But it's ending up the way it began

With the luck of a beginner, he'll be eating turkey dinner

On a mountain top in Pakistan

I'm getting ready, oh, I'm getting ready

For the power and the glory and the story of Christmas Day

Oh

I'm getting ready, oh, I'm getting ready

For the power and the glory and the story of Christmas Day

If I could tell my Mom and Dad about the things we never had

It never mattered, we were always okay

I'm getting ready, I'm getting ready, I'm getting ready for Christmas Day

I'm getting ready, oh, I'm getting ready

For the power and the glory and the story of Christmas Day

Oh

I'm getting ready, oh, I'm getting ready

For the power and the glory and the story of Christmas Day

I'm getting ready, oh, I'm getting ready

For the power and the glory and the story of Christmas Day

For the power and the glory and the story of Christmas Day
