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
