Christmas Time This Year

Our boys and girls will be here soon coming home from war

I'm so glad it's Christmas time this year

But they'lI be going back to war again I fear

Can't they stay for Christmas time this year

Now Johnny ain't got no legs and Billy ain't got no face

Do they know it's Christmas time this year?

Tommy looks about the same but his mind is gone

Does he know it's Christmas time this year?

When is Santa coming 'round 'cause I got some requests

I bet he knows it's Christmas time this year

Military personnel might not be on his list

Don't he know it's Christmas time this year

All I want is two good arms so I can hold my kids

Then they'lI know it's Christmas time this year

I'd like a mouth so I can kiss my honey on her lips

Then she'll know it's Christmas time this year

Because it's Christmas time, Christmas time,

Yes it's merry Christmas time

Everybody stand up tall and cheer

Our children will be coming home in plastic bags I fear

Then we'll know it's Christmas time this year

Thank you Mr. President for your kind words and deeds

There's just one thing I'd like for you to hear

Take this war and shove it up your Crawford, Texas ass

And then you'll know it's Christmas time this year
