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 summer time    Maybe even California    If we make it through December    We'll be fine       Got laid off down at the factory    And their timing's not the greatest    In the world    Heaven knows I've been working hard    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    And my little girl don't understand    Why daddy can't afford no Christmas here
