61.Christmas Rock

Lyricist:Lewis Anderson

Oh, my billfold doesn't have a prayer
There's Christmas catalogs everywhere
She keeps looking at the jewelry section
Cutting pictures out of her selections

I said we need to hold it down this year
And in her eye she got a big old tear
She wants a Christmas rock
Santa's pockets ain't got no roll

She don't want no pots and pans
Just something shinin' on her hand
With an emerald or a diamond on it
I had a budget but she's gone and blown it

Down to the jewelry store, here I go
I hear the clerk say, ho, ho, ho
She wants a Christmas rock
But Santa's pockets ain't got no roll

She don't want anything from Sears
No tools or garden shears
There's something special on her mind
And I can't even afford the shine

I wish she'd settled for a long nightshirt
No, I've got to give till it hurts
She wants a Christmas rock
Santa's pockets ain't got no roll

She don't want no pots and pans
Just something shinin' on her hand
With an emerald or a diamond on it
I had a budget but she's gone and blown it

Down to the jewelry store, here I go
I hear the clerk say, ho, ho, ho
She wants a Christmas rock
But Santa's pockets ain't got no roll

Yes, she wants a Christmas rock
But old Santa's pockets ain't got no roll
