Luyện nghe bài hát John Prine Christmas

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of

Man oh man, I just love Christmas, it's so darn neat
I wish every day was Christmas
Except Christmas Eve and the of July
We wouldn't want to out on the fireworks, would we?

When I was a kid, we used to get the Christmas
From Montgomery in Chicago
Sometimes get it as early as late August
It was the big of wishes, hopes and desires

My three brothers and I allotted
Twenty-five bucks a including tax
So I'd make up a Christmas list every night
From the first of September the twenty-forth of December
Matter of fact, let me present you my Christmas credentials

When I was three years old, at least what my mother told me
I ate an ornament, I ate a big red one, I thought it was an apple
They freaked out and was gonna take me to the hospital
But they couldn't stop me from so they just left me alone
So I guess I still got Christmas in me all the time, you know?

One year, I got a roly-poly for Christmas
You know the you knock down and they bounce right back up
They made 'em out of wood then, that's how old I am
Nowadays, make 'em out of plastic
My mom says they just don't make 'em that anymore
And I says, "No Ma, don't"

Then there was the year I came
Only leave from the from Germany
To marry my high school
On the day Christmas

My little Billy, who was twelve at the time
Had just gotten his job
So he was able to afford to buy some Christmas
For his and his mom and dad out of his own pocket

Billy had a job subscriptions for the Chicago Tribune
He told me this guy Rocky would pick him up
In a station wagon, him and other boys
And take 'em out to some strange neighborhood
And drop 'em off and he gave them this whole
To their potential customers

Supposedly their little had won a free trip
To our nation's capital DC
But he go on the trip
If his older brother accompany him

So if you would please buy a to the Chicago Tribune
Then my little brother be happy
Wow, what a
Some do anything to get to the White House

Then was the year that my mom and dad gave me my first guitar
Ah, man it was gorgeous, I still got the
It was a like aqua blue, dark aqua blue
With a cream colored heart was a Silvertone Montgomery wards
The model was called Blue
And man, when I saw that sitting under the tree just wait

First year so I didn't how to play it
I'd just stand in of the mirror with a string around my neck
With that and I'd try to look like Elvis
my brother Dave taught me a couple of chords
Now I'm in your living room singing and talking to you
It's how things work out

So-a whyn't you go find a and extend your hand to 'em
If you see somebody looks like they ain't doin' quite as as you
Slip 'em a buck, 'specially if don't ask for spare change

Go buy your a cuckoo clock
Or a snow shaking water ball
when you wind it up it plays
'I want you, I need you, I love ya with all my
'Cause all, hell man, it's Christmas

Away in a manger no for a bed
The little Jesus lay down His sweet head
The in the sky look down where He lay
The Lord Jesus asleep on the
(1-2)
Hay

Christmas, everybody
