Look Around You (It’s Christmas Time) – Bobby Goldsboro
By
Santa Claus on every corner, as he braves the winter night Bell’s a-ringing in his left hand, and a bottle in his right Look around you, it’s Christmas time
Christmas trees made out of plastic, standing bare in every door We will deck the halls with holly, if we make it off the floor Look around you, it’s Christmas time
Father’s celebrating Christmas, with a bottle full of rum While his children wait for presents, that they know will never come Look around you, it’s Christmas time
One-armed beggar selling pencils, but we cannot spare a dime Save it for the parking meter, or we’ll have to pay a fine Look around you, it’s Christmas time
All the churches filled with nothing, but the quiet of the night Doesn’t anyone remember, why we celebrate tonight? Look around you, it’s Christmas time It’s Christmas time
