Bridge
But  give  my  daddy  a  job  'cos  he  needs  one
He's  got  lots  of  mouths  to  feed
And  if  you've  got  one  I'll  have  a  machine  gun
So  I  can  scare  all  the  kids  on  the  street

Chorus
Father  Christmas  give  us  some  money
We've  got  no  time  for  your  silly  toys
We'll  beat  you  up  if  you  don't  hand  it  over
We  want  your  bread  so  don't  make  us  annoyed
Give  all  the  toys          -
to  the  little  rich  boys

Verse 3 (Minimal accompaniment)
Have  yourself  a  merry  merry  Christmas
Have  yourself  a  good  time
But  remember  the  kids  who  got  nothing
While  you're  drinking  down  your  wine

Short Chorus

Don't mess around with those  silly  toys
We'll beat you up if you don't  hand  it  over

Give all the toys
to the little rich boys
