Presents for Christmas by Solomon Burke Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1968

Oh, this is gonna be a groove for me
It's gonna be a something different but
We gonna give it to 'em anyway
Are you ready?
Come on!
We wanna give out a present to
Everybody this Christmas
All around the world

For every man, woman, boy and girl
Are you ready right now
Come one, here we go
Oh, I like it like that, come on
That's it, alright, come on

Christmas presents around the world
Something mighty sweet to see
If only if I just had a present for everyone
Under one great big Christmas tree

Every boy that wants a brand new toy
For every Jonny that wants a car
Every junior that wants a mobiles bike
That rides and rides and rides
Now my little daughter
She wants a doll that cries
One that walks and wipes its eyes
And I see there's someone
That wants somebody home
Just to lean her head in their arms

What a Christmas present, this Christmas
Oh, what a gift you could be
You know if I can just give out
Christmas presents to everyone
Under one great big Christmas tree

You know I'm even fat enough to be
The world's biggest Santa Claus
And everybody can just stand around
And just say, ooh is that for me?
Come on, a Christmas present for
Everybody this year
We want to give it to 'em
Are you ready?
Come on everybody, come on
One more time together
Merry Christmas, baby

A present to you, this Christmas
Directly from me
All the Disc Jockeys around the world
Merry Christmas
All the policemen and all the pretty girls
Oh la la la...
That's from my old friend
And I'm so good
Christmas presents, baby
Here we go
Come on, let me hear you
Come on
Alright, now listen to me
Somewhere, in this big wide world
There's somewhere, a girl and boy
Who's wishing for a great big Christmas
Maybe one, two or three toys
But sadly enough
Believe me, as it seems
They won't get these things, we know
But the best we can do
Is to wish a merry Christmas to you
And next year, things will have another joy
Christmas wishes for everyone
Oh, what a gift it can be
