I got ten toy soldiers for Billy Joe
I got coloring book for Sue
I got a little toy train for Danny boy
And a cowboy suit for Lou
I got a talkin' baby doll for Cindy
I got a pair o'roller skates for Jane
And baby if we ever have any more kids
Christmas shoppin's gonna drive me insane
Gonna go this Christmas shopping
Well, I wonder if I'll ever get through
I tried to get everybody somethin' that they wanted
But I didn't know what to get you
I read the kids letters to Santa Claus
I read 'em over one by one
And I'd surely like to get my hands
On the fella that said Christmas shoppin's fun
I got ten toy soldiers for Billy Joe
I got a coloring book for Sue
I got a little toy train for Danny boy
And a cowboy suit for Lou
I got a talkin' baby doll for Cindy
I got a pair o'roller skates for Jane
And baby if we ever have any more kids
Christmas shoppin's gonna drive me insane
Well, I must've walked a hundred miles or more
I went to every store in town
My feet started swellin' and my head started achin'
And I couldn't find a place to sit down
But to tell you the truth well, I really don't mind it
I could even walk another mile
'Cause on Christmas mornin'
When they open up the presents
Well it's worth it just to see them smile
I got ten toy soldiers for Billy Joe
I got coloring book for Sue
I got a little toy train for Danny boy
And a cowboy suit for Lou
I got a talkin' baby doll for Cindy
I got a pair o'roller skates for Jane
And baby if we ever have any more kids
Christmas shoppin's gonna drive me insane...
