From early in November[00:00:32]
To the last week of December[00:00:33]
I got money matters weighing me down[00:00:36]
Oh the music may be merry [00:00:39]
But it's only temporary[00:00:41]
I know Santa Claus is coming to town[00:00:43]
In the days I work my day job [00:00:47]
In the nights I work my night[00:00:49]
But it all comes down to working man's pay[00:00:51]
Getting ready I'm getting ready [00:00:55]
Ready for Christmas Day[00:00:58]
Getting ready for Christmas Day[00:01:03]
And let me tell you namely [00:01:05]
The undertaker he's getting ready for your body[00:01:07]
Not only that the jailer he's getting ready for you[00:01:11]
Christmas day Hmm And not only the jailer [00:01:17]
But the lawyer the police force[00:01:22]
Now getting ready for Christmas day [00:01:24]
And I want you to bear it in mind[00:01:28]
I got a nephew in Iraq [00:01:32]
It's his third time back[00:01:35]
But it's ending up the way it began[00:01:37]
With the luck of a beginner[00:01:41]
He'll be eating turkey dinner[00:01:43]
On some mountain top in Pakistan[00:01:45]
Getting ready oh we're getting ready[00:01:49]
For the power and the glory[00:01:57]
And the story of the Christmas day[00:01:59]
Getting ready for Christmas day [00:02:03]
Done made it up in your mind that I'm going [00:02:06]
New York Philadelphia Chicago [00:02:09]
I'm going on a trip getting ready [00:02:13]
For Christmas day [00:02:17]
But when Christmas come [00:02:19]
Nobody knows where you'll be [00:02:21]
You might ask me [00:02:24]
I may be layin' in some lonesome grave [00:02:27]
Getting ready for Christmas day[00:02:31]
Getting ready oh we're getting ready[00:02:51]
For the power and the glory[00:02:58]
And the story of the Christmas day[00:03:01]
Yes we're getting ready[00:03:06]
Getting ready ready for your prayers [00:03:08]
I'm going and see my relatives in a distant land [00:03:11]
Getting ready getting ready for Christmas day[00:03:16]
If I could tell my Mom and Dad[00:03:21]
That the things we never had[00:03:24]
Never mattered we were always okay[00:03:26]
Getting ready oh ready for Christmas day[00:03:30]
Ready getting ready[00:03:39]
For the power and the glory[00:03:45]
And the story of the Christmas day[00:03:47]
