[Unwritten Law]
Remember when, I was ten,
Lookin forward to Christmas again,
Everything, I enjoy,
Like the family Christmas tree and the toys,
And I?d wake up early morning
While mom and dad still snored in bed,
So I crept, down the steps,
Couldn't wait to see what Santa had left now

[Chorus]
I could not wait for Christmas day,
Wait for Christmas day now

[Unwritten Law]
Don't want to wait, gettin late,
March up stairs to give my parents a shake,
Get out of bed, sleepy heads,
Christmas doesn't start till you are awake,
As we gather around the tree
I open everything they gave to me,
So I stay, end up late,
Why can't it be Christmas everyday now

[Chorus]
I could not wait for Christmas day,
Wait for Christmas day now,
But I, but I, will have to wait for Christmas,
I will hafta wait for Christmas,
I will always wait for Christmas day

[Sum 41]
Now wake up Christmas morning, guess what I saw,
It's Unwritten Law and Sum 41 rock it raw,
With the message for kids sayin they should be nice
Not naughty 'cause, Santa knows karate, he's on the cross Vader,
Hip hop hoorayder , got wade on the beats,
Like AC Slater, if you good like Wally,
Or bad like the Beev, only Santa know the score
Come Christmas eve

[Chorus]
But I, but I will have to wait for Christmas,
I will have to wait for Christmas,
I will always wait for Christmas
Day now yeah, I could not wait for Christmas day.

    General CommentI typed this from listening to it, and I didnt even want to attempt to try Sum 41's part (which ruins the whole song, if you ask me...) so there might be some errors. Like, I'm not sure about the "march upstairs to give my parents a shake" and "I'd grab down the steps" doesnt make any sense, but I couldnt figure it out.

    General Commenti think parents is supposed to be "presents"... kids don't normally shake their parents. :D

    General Commentlol...I was thinking that he was trying to wake up his parents...it fits with the next two lines, anyway. "dont wanna wait, gettin late" a lot of parents make their kids wait until they wake up before they open their presents. i dont know, though, you could be right

    General Commentthe sum 41 part at the end is:

    Wake up christmas morning and guess what i saw
    I saw Unwritten Law and Sum 41 rockin' raw
    With a message for the kids saying they should be nice
    Not naughty, ya 'cause santa knows karati
    He's on the cross fader
    Hip-hop parader
    Got Wade on the beats like AC Slater
    If you're good like wally
    Or bad like The Beev
    Only Santa knows the score come Chsitmas Eve

    and i agree with you all... the UL part is way better
