Christmas is on me. New Year's will follow soon Christmas is on me. New Year's will follow soon My Santa has quit me. That's why you'll hear me croon I hung up my stocking and I went straight to bed I hung up my stocking and I went straight to bed But when I woke up Christmas morning, thought I had an aching head I won't eat no turkey 'cause I ain't got a cent I won't eat no turkey 'cause I ain't got a cent The landlord will put me out if I don't pay my rent New Year's, please tell me, what kind of love will you bring? New Year's, please tell me, what kind of love will you bring? If I can't make it, my body sure will swing Christmas is on me, and I'm all alone Christmas is on me. Here I am all alone Oh, will some Santa help me and hear my lonesome moan? Christmas is on me. People, how can I refuse? Christmas is on me. Lord, how can I refuse? If I don't get it by Christmas, I'll have the New Year's blues
