 | From early in November to the last week on December
I got money no matter â?¦ me down
Well the music made me merry by the solid temporary
I know Santa Claus is coming to town
In the days I work my day job
In the nights I work my night
But all comes down to waking on last day
Getting ready ready for Christmas day
I got a nephew in Iraq
It`s his third time back
But we`re pretending .. again
With the luck of a beginner
He`ll be eating turkey dinner

Somewhere .. in Pakistan
Getting ready oh we`re getting ready
For the power and the glory and the story
Of Christmas day (repeats)
If I could tell my mum and dad
That the things that we never had
Didn`t matter we were always ok
Getting ready ready for Christmas day
Getting ready oh we`re getting ready
For the power and the glory and the story
Of Christmas day

 | That´s what I was able to hear, the preaching of Rev. J.M. Gates is in brackets ()
Getting Ready For Christmas Day by Paul Simon:
(` Yeah ` well - getting ready ` yes ` oh yeah - that´s right ` OK - getting ready ` yeah - yes ...)
From early in November to the last week of December
I got money matters weighing me down
Well the music may be merry but it´s only temporary
I know Santa Claus is coming to town
In the days I work my day-job
In the nights I work my night
But it all comes down to working man´s pay
Getting ready, yeah I´m getting ready, ready for Christmas Day
(` Getting ready ` for Christmas ` oh let me tell you ` [...] and [...] - he´s getting ready ` for you [...]` not only that ` that Jesus ` he´s getting ready ` for you - for Christmas Day ` hum ` and not only ` for the in-laws â?¦? ` and I ` am getting ready ` for Christmas Day ` and I want you ` to bear it in mind - yes)
I got a nephew in Iraq
It`s his third time back
But it´s ending up the way it began
With the luck of a beginner
He`ll be eating turkey´s dinner
On some mountain top in Pakistan
Getting ready, oh we`re getting ready
For the power and the glory and the story
Of the Christmas Day
(` getting ready ` for Christmas Day ` and bear it up in your mind ` I´m going to ` New York ` Philadelphia ` Chicago ` I´m going ` on a trip ` getting ready ` for Christmas Day ` and when Christmas comes ` some [â?¦] note - while you leave ` might ask me ` I´m here ` and me - and some lonesome baby ` getting ready ` for Christmas ` Day ` all right)
[- Solo]
Getting ready, oh we´re getting ready
For the power and the glory and the story
Of the Christmas Day
Yes, we´re getting re- ready
(` [..] and all your friends ` I´m going ` and see my relatives ` in the distant land ` getting ready ` getting ready ` for Christmas Day ` peace on us â?¦ Ooh!)
If I could tell my mum and dad
That the things that we never had
Never mattered, we were always OK
Getting ready, oh ready, ready for Christmas Day
Ready, getting ready
For the power and the glory and the story
Of the Christmas Day |

From early in November to the last week of December
I got money matters weighing me down
Oh the music may be merry, but it´s only temporary
I know Santa Claus is coming to town
In the days I work my day job, in the nights I work my night
But it all comes down to working man´s pay
Getting ready, I´m getting ready, ready for Christmas Day
Reverend Gates :
Getting ready for Christmas Day
And let me tell you, namely, the undertaker, he´s getting ready for your body
Not only that, the jailer he´s getting ready for you
Christmas day. Hmm? And not only the jailer, but the lawyer, the police force
Now getting ready for Christmas day, and I want you to bear it in mind
I got a nephew in Iraq it´s his third time back
But it´s ending up the way it began
With the luck of a beginner he´ll be eating turkey dinner
On some mountain top in Pakistan
Getting ready, oh we´re getting ready
For the power and the glory and the story of the
Christmas day
Reverend Gates:
Getting ready, for Christmas day. Done made it up in your mind that I´m going, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago. I´m going, on a trip, getting ready, for Christmas day. But when Christmas come, Nobody knows where you´ll be. You might ask me. I may be layin´ in some lonesome grave, getting ready, for Christmas day
Getting ready oh we´re getting ready
For the power and the glory and the story of the
Christmas day
Yes we´re getting ready
Reverend Gates:
Getting ready, ready for your prayers, "I´m going and see my relatives in a distant land." Getting ready, getting ready for Christmas day
If I could tell my Mom and Dad that the things we never had
Never mattered we were always okay
Getting ready, oh ready for Christmas day
Getting ready oh we´re getting ready
For the power and the glory and the story of the
Christmas day |
