[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
Get 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's not the greatest in the world
Hеaven knows I've been working hard
I wanted Christmas to bе right for my 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 I can't afford no Christmas here

[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
Get plans to be in a warmer town come summertime
Maybe even California
If we make it through December, we'll be fine
