Please, Daddy (Don’t Get Drunk This Christmas) Songtext
von John Denver

Please Daddy, don′t get drunk this Christmas
I don't wanna see my Mamma cry
Please Daddy, don′t get drunk this Christmas
I don't wanna see my Mamma cry

Just last year when I was only seven
And now, I'm almost eight as you can see
You came home at a quarter past eleven
Fell down underneath our Christmas tree

Please Daddy, don′t get drunk this Christmas
I don′t wanna see my Mamma cry
Please Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas
I don′t wanna see my Mamma cry


Mamma smiled, looked outside the window
She told me, "Son, you better go upstairs"
But then you laughed and hollered, "Merry Christmas"
I turned around and saw my Mamma's tears

Please Daddy, don′t get drunk this Christmas
I don't wanna see my Mamma cry
Please Daddy, don′t get drunk this Christmas
I don't wanna see my Mamma cry

Please Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas
I don′t wanna see my Mamma cry
Please Daddy, don′t get drunk this Christmas
I don't wanna see my Mamma cry
No, I don′t wanna see my Mamma cry
