[Chorus] If we make it through December Everything's gonna be all right, I know It's the coldest time of winter And I shiver when I see the falling snow If we make it through December Got plans to be in a warmer town come summertime Maybe even California If we make it through December, we'll be fine [Verse] Got laid off down at the factory And their timing is not the greatest in the world Heaven knows I've been working hard I wanted Christmas to be right for Daddy's girl I don't mean to hate December It's meant to be the happy time of year But my little girl don't understand Why Daddy can't afford no Christmas gear [Chorus] If we make it through December Everything's gonna be all right, I know It's the coldest time of winter And I shiver when I see the falling snow If we make it through December Got plans to be in a warmer town come summertime Maybe even California If we make it through December, we'll be fine
