Paul Simon - Getting Ready For Christmas Day

From early in November
to the last week of December
I got money matters
weighing me down
Oh the music may be merry
but it's only temporary
I know Santa Claus
is coming to town
In the days I work my day job
in the nights I work my night
But it all comes down
to working man's pay
Getting ready
I'm getting ready
ready for Christmas Day
Getting ready for Christmas Day
And let me tell you
namely the undertaker
he's getting ready for your body
Not only that the jailer
he's getting ready for you
Christmas day
Hmm And not only the jailer
but the lawyer
the police force
Now getting ready
for Christmas day
and I want you
to bear it in mind
I got a nephew in Iraq
it's his third time back
But it's ending up
the way it began
With the luck of a beginner
he'll be eating turkey dinner
On some mountain top in Pakistan
Getting ready
oh we're getting ready
For the power and the glory
and the story of the
Christmas day
Getting ready
for Christmas day
Done made it up in your mind
that I'm going
New York Philadelphia Chicago
I'm going on a trip
getting ready for Christmas day
But when Christmas come
nobody knows where you'll be
You might ask me
I may be layin'
in some lonesome grave
getting ready
for Christmas day

Getting ready
oh we're getting ready
For the power and the glory
and the story of the
Christmas day
Yes we're getting ready
Getting ready
ready for your prayers
I'm going and see my relatives
in a distant land
Getting ready getting ready
for Christmas day
If I could tell my Mom
and Dad that the things
we never had
Never mattered
we were always okay
Getting ready
oh ready ready for Christmas day
ready Getting ready
For the power and the glory
and the story of the
Christmas day
