I'm thinking, I'm thinking about a merry Black Christmas
Just like the one I've never had before
Like kids out in the street with no shoes on their feet
They're happy, oh, they're happy, can't you see

I'm thinking (I'm thinking)
Oh, I'm thinking (I'm thinking)
Thinking about a merry Black Christmas

My mom is in the kitchen making a cake
And my dad is on his job, be home late
All the kids around the tree, yeah, everybody, including me
Oh, we're going to decorate, yes, we are, our Christmas tree

Lord, have mercy

We're thinking (we're thinking)
Oh, we're thinking (we're thinking)
Thinking about a merry Black Christmas

We're thinking (we're thinking)
Oh, yes, we're thinking (we're thinking)
Thinking about a merry Black Christmas

Baby, know I'm thinking (I'm thinking)
About a merry Black Christmas (I'm thinking)
Thinking about a merry Black Christmas
