If We make It Through December

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 (ah, ah, ah)
If we make it through December, we'll be fine

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 (ooh, ooh, ooh)
It's meant to be a happy time of year (ooh, ooh, ooh)
And my little girl can't understand (ah, ah, ah)
Why Daddy can't afford no Christmas gift

If we make it through December (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Everything's gonna be alright I know (ooh, ooh, ooh)
And it's the coldest time of winter (ah, ah, ah)
And I shiver when I see the falling snow

If we make it through December (ah, ah, ah)
We got plans to be in a warmer town come summer time (ooh, ooh, ooh)
And maybe even California (ah, ah, ah)
If we make it through December, maybe we'll be fine
