[Verse] The snow falls softly on the frozen ground But no roast turkey No joy to be found The table’s empty The cupboards bare Oh Canada Where’s the cheer to share [Chorus] Have yourself a little Carney Christmas If you can afford a tree Prices climbing higher than the tallest spree Layoffs knocking at your door You’ll see [Verse 2] The kids are asking Where’s Santa’s sleigh But the rent’s due And the bills won’t delay The stockings hang But there’s nothing to fill Mark’s budget plans have left us chilled [Chorus] Have yourself a little Carney Christmas Make do with what you’ve got A can of beans A prayer And a tiny thought For the feast that this year’s joy forgot [Bridge] Oh Mark You grin from your lofty height While we shiver through this winter night Your policies wrapped us in a cold embrace Yet you smile Untouched In your warm place [Chorus] Have yourself a little Carney Christmas Hold tight to love It’s free Though the pantry’s empty And there’s no turkey Hope’s a gift beneath our poverty
