If we make it through December   Every thing'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      So if we make it through December   Every thing'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
