Written by Ray Davies


[Intro]
C G  C G   C G   C G (x2)

G C D   G C D   G C D  G C D

[Verse 1]
G             Bm          Em          D  
When  I  was  small  I  believed  in  Santa  Claus
G             Bm        Em       D 
  'Though  I  knew  it  was  my  dad
G              Bm            Em            D  
And  I  would  hang  up  my  stocking  at  Christmas
G           Bm             Em       D  
  Open  my  presents  and  I'd  be  glad
Em           D              C               Bm
   But  the  last  time  I  played  Father  Christmas
Em              D          C         B7
   I  stood  outside  a  department  store
G              Bm           Em         D   
   A  gang  of  kids  came  over  and  mugged  me
G                     Bm        Em       D  
   They  knocked  my  reindeer  to  the  floor


[Chorus]
           C       G          C               G
And  said  Father  Christmas  give  us  some  money
C               G            C             D
  Don't  mess  around  with  those  silly  toys
       C          G            C                G
We'll  beat  you  up  if  you  don't  hand  it  over
C                 G                 C           D  
  We  want  your  bread  so  don't  make  us  annoyed
                C     D                       
Give  all  the  toys          -          
                       G   
to  the  little  rich  boys

G  C  D   G  C  D   G  C  D   G  C  D


[Verse 2] 
G                  Bm          Em             D  
  Don't  give  my  brother  a  Steve  Austin  outfit

G                  Bm         Em      D  
  Don't  give  my  sister  a  cuddly  toy

    G               Bm            Em      D  
We  don't  want  a  jigsaw  or  monopoly  money
 
G           Bm         Em      D  
  We  only  want  the  real  McCoy


[Chorus]
C       G          C              G
Father  Christmas  give  us  the  money
C                   G            C           D
  We'll  beat  you  up  if  you  make  us  annoyed
C       G          C               G
Father  Christmas  give  us  some  money
C               G            C             D
  Don't  mess  around  with  those  silly  toys


[Verse 3]
Em               D         C              Bm
  But  give  my  daddy  a  job  'cos  he  needs  one
Em      D              C           B7
  He's  got  lots  of  mouths  to  feed
G                  Bm              Em         D  
  And  if  you've  got  one  I'll  have  a  machine  gun
G             Bm               Em             D
  So  I  can  scare  all  the  kids  on  the  street


[Chorus]
C        G         C               G
Father  Christmas  give  us  some  money
C               G                C      D
We've  got  no  time  for  your  silly  toys
       C          G             C               G
We'll  beat  you  up  if  you  don't  hand  it  over
C               G                 C           D
We  want  your  bread  so  don't  make  us  annoyed
                C     D
Give  all  the  toys          -
                        G   
to  the  little  rich  boys

  But  remember  the  kids  who  got  nothing
G                                            D
  While  you're  drinking  down  your  wine
