lyrics

Waiting for December 25 (Gangsters Paradise)
Verse 1
As I woke in the morning with my Christmas cheer,
I take a look in my stocking, and realise there's nothing there.
Well I've been waiting for christmas so long and,
Even my Mumma said that I'd been a good boy.

Now I aint ever found a kid who didn't get presents,
Getting coal in our stockings, we know that's a myth yeah
But out on the street walking, the kids are talking,
That santa and his reindeer have been lined in chalk.

Well I really hate to freak, but I gotta know,
Is Santa coming back, Will I hear is ho, Hooo
Cause I'm the kind of kid who lives for getting christmas presents,
Losing sleep in the night, waiting for December two five!

Chorus
Been spending most our lives, waiting for december twenty five
x4

Verse 2
Look at this situation, us kids are facing
Empty stockings on the wall, nothing wrapped under the tree
Yeah I gotta do something about this
No more television watching, yeah it’s time to leave

I’m a kindergarten fool with presents on my mind,
Left my peanut butter jelly and my juice box behind
I’m gonna go out and find my friend Mr.Santa
And my playdates are down, so don’t arouse our anger, fool!

Santa aint nothin but a heart beat away,
We won’t stop till we find him, get what I say?
It’s 3 o’clock now and soon it will be 4
I guess I should probably go home, for tea.
Refrain
Tell me when will he, come back to see
There’s no gifts under, the christmas tree
Ho!

Chorus

Verse 3
Christmas without presents, Christmas without Santa
December after December, Disaster after disaster.
Santa has been missing, but aint nobody looking
What's going on in the Arctic? And why aint news reporting?
My parents said they'd look, but they’re just a little busy
If they’re not gonna go, why won’t they let me!
Maybe they know, something I don’t, that santa’s gone
That’s how I know my stocking won’t be full

Chorus
