A Commodore 64 Christmas

It was December 1982
I hoped that my dream would come true
That there would be waiting for me
A Commodore computer under the tree
I want a Commodore 64 Christmas
Now LEGO's nice, LEGO's fine,
But it won't scratch this 8-bit itch of mine
Now it was December 1983
What would Santa bring for me?
Would I finally get my wish?
My very own computer, with a SID chip
I want a Commodore 64 Christmas
I wanted, and I got
A Commodore 64 Christmas

Jolly old St. Nicholas, Lean your ear this way!
Don’t you tell a single soul, What I’m going to say;
Christmas Eve is coming soon; Now, you dear old man,
Whisper what you’ll bring to me: Tell me if you can.
When the clock is striking twelve, When I'm fast asleep,
Down the chimney broad and black, With your pack you'll creep;
I do love the computer that I got last year, but
Now would like some upgrades please, won't you, Santa dear?
I would like my own disk drive, cassette's too slow to load
And a big pack of blank disks, On which to save my code
Also get me a disk notcher, to use the back side
Yes I know I could use scissors
But this is quicker... and looks much more nice

Christmas Ain't About Me

Lyrics by The Doubleclicks:
Christmas is about having a whole week off from school
Christmas is all family-time and cheer
It's strands made out of popcorn and a fire made out of Yule.
And why there aren't candy canes all year
But these days it's all different, because these days she's around
She's cute and small and everyone adores her
The true meaning of Christmas was to watch me open presents,
But Christmas ain't about me anymore
Christmas is about sitting still in church for days
Christmas is about never complaining
Two years ago my presents filled up Santa Claus' whole sleigh
But by last year my haul had started waning
And this year I'll get only toys that match the ones she gets
Or slightly larger versions of the outfits she ignores
Because the true meaning of Christmas was to watch me open presents,
But Christmas ain't about me anymore
I don't want to brag but I can walk way better than she can
Look at me a second cause I know a bunch more words
I do cartwheels, I can spell and I've been working on the Macarena
Doesn't that impress you?
Nothing makes a difference, because these days she's around
Despite her many faults they all adore her
The true meaning of Christmas was to watch me open presents
But Christmas ain't about me anymore
Christmas ain't about me anymore
Christmas ain't about me anymore
