Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat
Hey put a penny in the old man's hat!
Light up the fire, the wind is blowing cold
Santa Claus is getting old!
Oh mommy dear on Christmas Day, again I must complain
I wonder is it Santa Claus who makes mistakes again
You see there's little Jenny Brown who got so many things
And dolls and sweets and teddy bears
And clothes and golden rings.
Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat
Hey put a penny in the old man's hat!
Light up the fire, the wind is blowing cold
Santa Claus is getting old!
Oh mommy, Jenny has so much and still it's not enough
But little Peter down the road got none of all the stuff
He's cold and hungry, can't you see? There's holes in both his shoes
No toys for him, no clothes and sweets and no christmas goods
Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat
Hey put a penny in the old man's hat!
Light up the fire, the wind is blowing cold
Santa Claus is getting old!
Oh child I understand you now; you think this is not right
Some children live all in the dark, while others own the light
But Santa Claus is not to blame while pouring out his load
For Jenny Brown should simply share with Peter down the road
Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat
Hey put a penny in the old man's hat!
Light up the fire, the wind is blowing cold
Santa Claus is getting old!
Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat
Hey put a penny in the old man's hat!
Light up the fire, the wind is blowing cold
Santa Claus is getting old...
