    Chorus:
    Father Christmas, give us some money
    Don't mess around with those silly toys
    We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
    We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
    Give all the toys to the little rich boys

    The greatest Christmas song ever. Not only is it punk but it's actually got a really nice meaning behind it.

    Played this song for my 8th grade class today, didn’t know how they’d react. They loved it. Faith in humanity restored.

    No matter what era, the Kinks are stone cold badass.

    Merry Christmas to everyone listening to this classic in 2023. This song is just as revelant today as it was when it was released back in the 70s.

    The Kinks made a punk song about Christmas.

  • @ELEcomments

    One of the few christmas songs that is actually good, not overplayed, or super sappy.

    In 1967 when psychedelia and flower-power was in full-swing, the Kinks were singing about kitchen sinks leaking and general working class struggles -- very much the stuff that the British punk groups would be on about in 1977. Here we are in '77 and the Kinks release a Christmas single that has all the energy and fire of the Pistols, Clash, Jam and it's that same real world concern. Ray Davies never wrote songs about purple unicorns, pinball playing messiahs or tales from topographic oceans, he kept it real from the very beginning and always stayed relevant. (Well, mostly.. some of the KInks' concept albums of the early '70s were more than a bit bloated and self-indulgent, but other than that..)

    It's Not Christmas until I play Father Christmas by the Kinks.

    It's never really Christmas until I hear about Santa getting robbed.
