How I Hate to See Christmas Come Around

Oh, how I hate to see Christmas come around
Yes, oh, how I hate to see Christmas come around
Well, it's really a beautiful sight, but it always brings me down
Well, it's Christmastime, now I'm feeling all bad
Yes, it's Christmastime, now I'm feeling all bad
Think about that money, yes, that I could have had
Well, I knew I had some money in my Christmas bank account
I went downtown to get it, fifteen fifths was the amount
Yes, I went down to the loan shark man, yes, to borrow a dime
He said he would, but he couldn't, yes, 'cause it's Christmastime
Well, I went to the pawn shop, yes, to pawn my radio
Yes, I went downtown to the pawn shop to pawn my radio
I looked him right in the eye, yes, and all he could say was no
No chicken, no turkey, yes, no cranberries for me
Yes, there will be no stocking, not even a Christmas tree
I hate to see Christmas come around 'cause it always brings me down
