Please, Daddy (Don't Get Drunk This Christmas)

(Bill Danoff - Taffy Nivert)



Please Daddy don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't want to see my Momma cry

Please Daddy don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't want to see my Momma cry.



Just last year when I was only seven

Now I'm almost eight, as you can see

You came home a quarter past eleven

And fell down underneath our Christmas tree.



Please Daddy don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't want to see my Momma cry

Please Daddy don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't want to see my Momma cry.

Mama smiled and looked outside the window

She told me son you better go upstairs

Then you laughed and hollared "Merry Christmas"

I turned around and saw my Momma's tears.



Please Daddy don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't want to see my Momma cry

Please Daddy don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't want to see my Momma cry.



Please Daddy don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't want to see my Momma cry

Please Daddy don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't want to see my Momma cry.



No,I don't want to see my Momma cry...
