G             Cm                 G
Since it's Christmas, let's be glad
     Cm                   G
Even if your life's been bad
           Cm             G
There are presents to be had
 G      Cm               G
Take a walk out in the snow
         Cm              G
And hear Santa's "Ho ho ho!"
           Cm                G
He's got a million miles to go

Chorus:
Am      Bm      C       D
La la la la la la la la la
Am      Bm      C       D
La la la la la la la la ah

Sing a carol to your mom
Because she knows what's going on
And she knows if you've been bad or good
And if you get what you deserve
To be graded on the curve
Oh, you got a lot of nerve

Chorus

Since the year is almost out
Lift your hands and give a shout
There's a lot to shout about today
Since it's Christmas, let's be glad
Even if the year's been bad
There are presents to be had
A promotion for your dad

         Cm               D
Don't be angry, don't be mad
