Dm
Candy Cane Girl
Gm                   Dm        F
Don't you know your name, girl? (yeah)
                    C                 Dm
Twelve people gonna ask you just the same, girl

What a world
Christmas once a year, girl
That's three hundred and sixty four tears, girl

Chorus:
           C       C/B     A
So when Christmas finally comes
     C        C/B   A
And nobody's got a gun
          C       C/B      A
And you think it might be fun
           G
To hang around
(Think again girl)

Dm
Why don't you open me up huh?

Candy Cane Boy
Don't you know your name, boy?
Nine people gonna tell you just the same, boy

You're alone, son
In the middle of a million
And nobody knows how to talk to children

Chorus:
Oh, when Christmas finally comes
And nobody's got a gun
And you think it might be fun
To get a new toy
(Think again boy)

Oh, when Christmas finally comes
And no one's got a gun
And you think it might be fun
To make a stand
(Think again man)
