Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 2]
I got laid off down at the factory
And their timing's 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 Daddy's little girl don't understand
Why Daddy can't afford no Christmas cheer
[Verse 3]
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
