telling december
===================

it was a long time ago
but i still remember
everything she said to me
in that telling december

  she said:
  there ain't no santa claus
  and nothing is for free____ 
  there ain't no santa claus
  and nothing is for free____   
    oh ^ ohh

she said, "i won't give 
you anything
so if you want to eat
you better sing."

  she said:
  there ain't no santa claus
  and nothing is for free____   
  there ain't no santa claus  
  and nothing is for free____   
    oh ^ ohh

     i thought that everything she said was true
     but i never bargained for you

  there IS a santa claus
  and no more "nothing is free"
  there IS a santa claus    
  and no more "nothing is free"
