lyrics

Last year this time I didn't have a dime especially one that I could give away
And jolly Old Saint Nick was such a rotten prick that he crapped inside my stocking Christmas Day

Well ho ho ho I've got no dough and everyone can all just go to hell
I'm short on bucks this Christmas sucks
I'll bet that next year's going to turn out just as well

Oh I'll be broke for Christmas
My wallet's just as empty as last year
Everyone will hate me because I didn't buy them gifts so I'll just stay home and drink a Christmas beer

This year this time I still don't have a dime
The merchandise is flying off the shelves
So what I'm going to do is shut that chimney flu and cook me up a couple Christmas elves

Well ho ho ho I've got no dough and everyone can all just go to hell
I'm short on bucks this Christmas sucks
I'll bet that next year's going to turn out just as well

Oh I'll be broke for Christmas
My wallet's just as empty as last year
Everyone will hate me because I didn't buy them gifts so I'll just stay home and drink a Christmas beer

I remember Christmas joy and getting brand new toys but that was all so many years ago
So if you've got Christmas spirit I don't even want to hear it when my stocking's got a whole worn through the toe

Well ho ho ho I've got no dough and everyone can all just go to hell
I'm short on bucks this Christmas sucks
I'll bet that next year's going to turn out just as well

Oh I'll be broke for Christmas
My wallet's just as empty as last year
Everyone will hate me because I didn't buy them gifts so I'll just stay home and drink a Christmas beer

Next year this time revenge will be all mine
That Santa Claus is finally going to pay
He'll shake like a bowl of jelly when I punch him in the belly and then I'll take a dump right in his sleigh

Well ho ho ho I've got no dough and everyone can all just go to hell
I'm short on bucks this Christmas sucks
I'll bet that next year's going to turn out just as well

Oh I'll be broke for Christmas
My wallet's just as empty as last year
Everyone will hate me because I didn't buy them gifts so I'll just stay home and drink a Christmas beer

DragStrip Riot Seattle, Washington

Born in the early 00's, DragStrip Riot was born in a filthy basement in Ballard, WA by 4 members of a car club. Our goal was to play all the types of music we enjoyed: punk, rock n roll, blues, surf, rockabilly and Americana. We ended up combining all of these into one sound and played around for 12 years before disbanding. ... more
