Taking us to way back when;

And all we had to be was good!

I’m good all year and still I get;
Gifts that I don’t need and yet;
When budgets call for small amounts;
They tell me its the thought that counts!

Oh, the wide and daunting gap;
Betwixt the wish, and what’s unwrapped!
I hint and show and leave a list;
But every year the targets missed!

So, Santa while you plan your flight;
I’ve come to pack your sack tonight!
How much would you say this weighs?
No wonder that your hairs turned gray!

Leave behind this heavy stuff;
Rudolf has to pull enough!
Unpack the coal, its such as waste!
Diamonds take up much less space!

And candy canes break easily;
Lets opt for caviar and brie!
You’ve no need to make two trips;
Don’t you know that Fed-Ex ships?

By the time that you come back;
I’ll have all this stuff repacked!

You’ll have more time left to yourself;
With me to be your Christmas elf!
And every year I guarantee;
A happy, merry, jolly me!

Christmas makes us kids again;
Taking us to way back when;
Dreams came true as all dreams should,
And all we had to be was good!

I’m good all year and still I get;
Gifts that I don’t need and yet;
When budgets call for small amounts;
They tell me its the thought that counts!

Oh, the wide and daunting gap;
Betwixt the wish, and what’s unwrapped!
I hint and show and leave a list;
But every year the targets missed!

So, Santa while you plan your flight;
I’ve come to pack your sack tonight!
How much would you say this weighs?
No wonder that your hairs turned gray!

Leave behind this heavy stuff;
Rudolf has to pull enough!
Unpack the coal, its such as waste!
Diamonds take up much less space!

And candy canes break easily;
Lets opt for caviar and brie!
You’ve no need to make two trips;
Don’t you know that Fed-Ex ships?

By the time that you come back;
I’ll have all this stuff repacked!

You’ll have more time left to yourself;
With me to be your Christmas elf!
And every year I guarantee;
A happy, merry, jolly me!
