[Verse 1]
If we make it through December
Everything's gonna be alright, I know
It's the coldest time of winter
And I shiver when I see the falling snow
If we make it through December
We got plans to be in a warmer town come summer time
And 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 that I've been working hard
I wanted Christmas to be right for Daddy's girl
No, I don't mean to hate December
It's meant to be a happy time of year
And my little girl can't understand
Why Daddy can't afford no Christmas gift

[Verse 3]
If we make it through December
Everything's gonna be alright I know
It's the coldest time of winter
And I shiver when I see the falling snow
If we make it through December
We got plans to be in a warmer town come summer time
And maybe even California
If we make it through December, maybe we'll be fine
