Lyrics Presents For Christmas - Solomon Burke

Oh, this is gonna be a groove for me
It's gonna be a little something different
But we're gonna give it to 'em anyway
Are you ready?
Come on, ha!

We want to 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 on here we go
Aah, I like it like that, come on, that's it
Alright, come on

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

For every boy that wants a brand new toy
For every Johnny that wants a car, ha
For every junior that wants a mobile bike that
Rides and a rides and rides

Now my little daughter
She wants a doll that cries
One that walks and wipes it's eyes, ha
And I see there someone
That wants somebody home
Just to mere have in their arms

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

You know I'm even fat enough to be
The world's biggest Santa Claus
And everybody could just
Just stand around and just say
Ooh, is that for me?

Ha, come on
A Christmas present for everybody this year
And we want to give it to 'em are you ready?
Come on everybody, come on one more time together
Merry Christmas, baby

A present for you Christmas directly from me
For all the disc jokeys around the world, Merry Christmas
All the policeman and all the pretty girls, ha
Oh, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, ha ha

That's for my old friend and all the soul friends
Christmas brothers, 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 some little 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 thing that we can do
Is wish a Merry Christmas to you
And hope next year things will have a lot of joy

Christmas presents for every one
Ha ha, ooh, what a gift it could be
If I could just have a great big
