\nJEST 'FORE CHRISTMAS<\/p>\nVerse 1:
\nD#5.C5.D5....C5.Am5......D#5.C5.D5....C5.Am5..
\nFather calls me William, sister calls me Will,<\/p>\n
D#5.C5.D5....C5.Am5.....D#5.C5..D5......C5......Am5..
\nMother calls me Willie, but the fellers call me Bill!<\/p>\n
Am.....C\/A....Am......G......Am.....C\/A.Am.G5
\nMighty glad I ain't a girl---ruther be a boy,<\/p>\n
Am...........C\/A.....Am.........G......Am.....C\/A.....Am.....G5..
\nWithout them sashes, curls, an' things that's worn by Fauntleroy!<\/p>\n
Verse 2:
\nLove to chawnk green apples an' go swimmin' in the lake---
\nHate to take the castor-ile they give for bellyache!
\n'Most all the time, the whole year round, there ain't no flies on me,
\nBut jest 'fore Christmas I'm as good as I kin be!<\/p>\n
Chorus:
\nD#5........C5...D5....C5..Am5
\nBut jest before Christmas,<\/p>\n
D#5........C5...D5....C5..Am5
\nBut jest before Christmas,<\/p>\n
D#5........C5...D5....C5..Am5
\nBut jest before Christmas,<\/p>\n
Am5.....................
\nI'm as good as I kin be!<\/p>\n
Verse 3:
\nFor Christmas, with its lots an' lots of candies, cakes, an' toys,
\nWas made, they say, for proper kids an' not for naughty boys;
\nSo wash yer face an' bresh yer hair, an' mind yer p's and q's,
\nAn' don't bust out yer pantaloons, and don't wear out yer shoes;<\/p>\n
Verse 4:
\nSay \"Yessum\" to the ladies, and \"Yessur\" to the men,
\nAn' when they's company, don't pass yer plate for pie again;
\nBut, thinkin' of the things yer'd like to see upon that tree,
\nJest 'fore Christmas be as good as yer kin be!<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
