Things I Wanted For Christmas

The things I wanted for Christmas Were very dear to me I’m not sure I asked for most of them For they cost too much, you see. A dollhouse in Sears and Roebuck catalog Haunted me each and every year It was filled with life-like furniture The windows were sturdy and clear. And then there was the outfit I would look so perfect in A red cowgirl outfit it was Well, it wasn’t like it was a sin. But most of all I must tell you, my friends That my heart beat fast and sure When this bicycle I wanted went by my house It was almost more than I could endure. It was a beauty, oh, how I wanted one Blue with cream-colored trim The girl just rode by so calmly While I felt green envy up to my chin. But now, I look back and smile a bit Kinda wonder why I felt such a fuss When I think about all of the things That as a kid, I wanted for Christmas.
