Paul Simon - Getting Ready For Christmas Day Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • From early in November to the last week of December
  • I got money matters weighing me down
  • Oh the music may be merry, but it's only temporary
  • I know Santa Claus is coming to town
  • In the days I work my day job, in the nights I work my night
  • But it all comes down to working man's pay
  • Getting ready, I'm getting ready, ready for Christmas Day
  • [Reverend Gates:]
  • Getting ready for Christmas Day
  • And let me tell you, namely, the undertaker, he's getting ready for your body
  • Not only that, the jailer he's getting ready for you
  • Christmas day. Hmm? And not only the jailer, but the lawyer, the police force
  • Now getting ready for Christmas day, and I want you to bear it in mind
  • I got a nephew in Iraq it's his third time back
  • But it's ending up the way it began
  • With the luck of a beginner he'll be eating turkey dinner
  • On some mountain top in Pakistan
  • Getting ready, oh we're getting ready
  • For the power and the glory and the story of the
  • Christmas day
  • [Reverend Gates:]
  • Getting ready, for Christmas day.
  • Done made it up in your mind that I'm going, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago.
  • I'm going, on a trip, getting ready, for Christmas day.
  • But when Christmas come, nobody knows where you'll be.
  • You might ask me.
  • I may be layin' in some lonesome grave, getting ready, for Christmas day
  • Getting ready oh we're getting ready
  • For the power and the glory and the story of the
  • Christmas day
  • Yes we're getting ready
  • [Reverend Gates:]
  • Getting ready, ready for your prayers,
  • "I'm going and see my relatives in a distant land."
  • Getting ready, getting ready for Christmas day
  • If I could tell my Mom and Dad that the things we never had
  • Never mattered we were always okay
  • Getting ready, oh ready for Christmas day
  • Getting ready oh we're getting ready
  • For the power and the glory and the story of the
  • Christmas day
