I Really Can’t Do it in This
C
He tried on the Jacket it didn’t seem to fit
G7
The arms all were short and the
Lapels were ripped
C
The elbows were in patches
F
And Father Christmas said
G7
I’ll need a new one for tomorrow night
I really can’t do it in this
He tried on the trousers
They were baggy at the knees
The bottom was all saggy
And the turn ups made you crease
The knees were all holey
And Father Christmas said
I’ll need a new one for tomorrow night
I really can’t do it in this
He tried on the boots
In there were a family of mice
And they said
Hey your socks don’t smell very nice
Look they need darning
And Father Christmas said
I’ll need a new one for tomorrow night
I really can’t do it in this
So he called for the elves
And they all came around
But in no corner of the North Pole
Could red material be found
There was no tailor
To sow up the suit
Oh for goodness sake
I’ll need a new one for tomorrow night
I really can’t do it in this
So they got upon the phone and they phoned
Around the world
It was Harry Wong
From Hong Kong
Who came to the rescue
And Father Christmas said
I’ll need a new one for tomorrow night
I really can’t do it in this
Well it was the finest suit
That Father Christmas had ever seen
It twinkled and it sparkled
Like a magic moon beam
And Rudolf got up set and said
It’s brighter than my nose
I’ll need a new one for tomorrow night
I really can’t do it in this
