Please, Daddy (Don’t Get Drunk This Christmas) Lyrics

[Chorus]
Please Daddy don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't want to see my Momma cry
Please Daddy don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't want to see my Momma cry

[Verse 1]
Just last year when I was only seven
Now I'm almost eight, as you can see
You came home a quarter past eleven
And fell down underneath our Christmas tree

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Mama smiled and looked outside the window
She told me son you better go upstairs
Then you laughed and hollared
"Merry Christmas"
I turned around and saw my Momma's tears

[Chorus x2]

No,I don't want to see my Momma cry

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
