X-mas-time is coming

X-mas-time is coming
the year is near its end
you ain't got a woman
you ain't got a friend
the grocery-store, the brothel
both make their windows nice
one sells instant coffee
the other says paradise
   
      X-mas-time is coming
      I can hear the angels blowing away
      X-mas-time is coming

yes the red light district
will not be outshone
a home away from home
where so many have gone
to have Mother Christmas
caress that Holy Tree
and then unwrapping presents
find the eyes can be deceived

    refr.

X-mas-time is coming
and all the world is joy
in the air a humming
of radio-active toys
and mankind stands resplendent
upon its misty hill
fierce and independent
ready for the kill

refr.
