Our boys and girls will be here soon coming home from war |
|
I'm so glad it's |
|
Christmas time this year |
|
But they'l |
|
I be going back to war again |
|
I fearCan't they stay for |
|
Christmas time this year |
|
Now Johnny ain't got no legs and |
|
Billy ain't got no face |
|
Do they know it's |
|
Christmas time this year? |
|
Tommy looks about the same but his mind is gone |
|
Does he know it's |
|
Christmas time this year? |
|
When is Santa corming 'round 'cause |
|
I got some requests |
|
I bet he knows it's |
|
Christmas time this year |
|
Military personnel might not be on his list |
|
Don't he know it's |
|
Christmas time this year |
|
All I want is two good arms so |
|
I can hold my kids |
|
Then they'l |
|
I know it's |
|
Christmas time this year |
|
I'd like a mouth so |
|
I can kiss my honey on her lips |
|
Then she'll koow it's |
|
Christmas time this year |
|
Because it's |
|
Christmas time, |
|
Christmas time, |
|
Yes it's merry |
|
Christmas time |
|
Everybody stand up tall and cheer |
|
Our children will be coming home in plastic bags |
|
I fearThen we'll know it's |
|
Christmas time this year |
|
