jolly ol' saint Nicholas
lean your ear this way
don't you tell a single soul
what I'm going to say
Christmas eve is coming soon
now u dear old man
I'm going to tell u about heroes
in a far away land
Dressed in green
and armed with guns
sleeping on the floor
wishing to be with family
each day more and more
working hard
and fighting well
doing their best job
all alone on Christmas day
wife and children sob
no big dinner, no big feast
no green Christmas tree
up all night watching out
for the enemy
my brother wants a pair of skates
molly wants a doll
but please ol' Santa clause don't bring
me anything at all
Instead deliver peace and love
to all the soldiers in Iraq
bring their families joy and hope
until they can come back
If you do as I wish
I'll be filled with joy
soldiers need love and their families
more than I would need any toy
