Christmas in an Old Man’s Hat Lyrics by Tears For Beers

1997

Oh mummy dear on Christmas day
Again I must complain
I wonder is it Santa Claus
Who makes mistakes again
You see this little Jenny Brown
She's got so many things
Dolls and sweets and teddybears
And clothes and golden rings
Christmas is coming
And the goose is getting fat
Hey put the penny
In the old mans hat
Light up the fire
The wind is blowing cold
Santa Claus is getting old
Oh mummy Jenny has too much
And still its not enough
But little Peter down the road
Got none of all this stuff
He's cold and hungry
Can't you see
Those holes in both his shoes
No toys for him
No clothes and sweets
And no Christmas goods
Christmas is coming
And the goose is getting fat
Hey put the penny
In the old mans hat
Light up the fire
The wind is blowing cold
Santa Claus is getting old?
And shall I understand you now
It seems this is not right
Some children live in the dark
While others own the light
But Santa Claus is not to blame
Putting out his load
So Jenny Brown should simply share
With peter down the road
Christmas is coming
And the goose is getting fat
Hey put the penny
In the old mans hat
Light up the fire
He wind is blowing cold
Santa Claus is getting old?
