<b>Getting Coal</b> by <i>The Pipettes</i><br />Mummy says that I've been bad

(OK, my darling, don't look sad)

It's Christmas Eve, I want to see

The kind of gifts I might have had

But what did I do wrong?

You never listened to your mother's good advice

What did I do?

You go out dancing and you come home late at night

What did I do?

Must have done something bad

'Cause I'm getting coal

'Cause I've been a bad girl

Christmas Day, think of me

When sleigh bells ring and people say

I hope you had all you want (Merry Christmas!)

I'm getting coal my mother says

Cos I've been a bad girl

('Cause she's been a bad girl)

But what did I do wrong?

You're disrespectful and you're squandering your youth

What did I do?

You've been with boys and you never tell the truth

What did I do?

You're hanging round with people practically uncouth

What did I do?

I'm sure there's more, but that is all for which there is proof

What did I do?

Must have done something bad

'Cause I'm getting coal

'Cause I've been a bad girl

('Cause she's been a bad girl x4)

But it's Christmas!

But it's Christmas!

(?)

At this forgiving time of year...
