Accueil  💃🎤 Paroles de chanson Française et Internationnales

From early in November to the last week of December
I got money matters weighing me down
Oh the music may be merry, but 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
Getting ready, I´m getting ready, ready for Christmas Day

Getting ready for Christmas Day
And let me tell you, namely, the undertaker, he´s getting ready for your body
Not only that, the jailer he´s getting ready for you
Christmas day
Hmm? And not only the jailer, but the lawyer, the police force
Now getting ready for Christmas day, and I want you to bear it in mind

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 some mountain top in Pakistan
Getting ready, oh we´re getting ready
For the power and the glory and the story of the
Christmas day

Getting ready, for Christmas day
Done made it up in your mind that I´m going, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago
I´m going, on a trip, getting ready, for Christmas day
But when Christmas come, nobody knows where you´ll be
You might ask me
I may be laying in some lonesome grave, getting ready, for Christmas day

Getting ready oh we´re getting ready
For the power and the glory and the story of the
Christmas day
Yes we´re getting ready
Getting ready, ready for your prayers
"I´m going and see my relatives in a distant land."

Getting ready, getting ready for Christmas day
If I could tell my Mom and Dad that the things we never had
Never mattered we were always okay
Getting ready, oh ready for Christmas day
Getting ready oh we´re getting ready
For the power and the glory and the story of the
Christmas day
