About the Song
Lyrics
Have you ever had friends or family ask you what you want for Christmas, and even though you may feel a little uncomfortable telling them exactly what you want, you make a short list because they ask you give them one; just a few of the things you might enjoy.
Then on Christmas day when you open your presents, not one single thing on your list is there.
After that happened to me, I decided to write the lyrics to a song that showed how to take Christmas into my own hands.
The music to Some Things for Christmas can be purchased online.
I bought a car for Christmas.
It's shiny and cinnamon red.
I'll race around all over this town
And burn off some serious tread.
I bought a mink for Christmas.
So silky and warm as can be.
What will they think, to see me in mink.
When I go with my rich friends to tea.
I bought a ring,
And other sparkly things.
With my little bit of bling
I take wing.
I'm not buying much for Christmas.
Just a ring and a mink and a car.
With my car and my ring and my mink
Oh, I think
I'll be a star.
I got a cruise for Christmas.
I'll play and I'll lounge and I'll eat.
Think of my glee, as I sail out to sea.
Yes, this is a Christmas so sweet.
I thought a trip.
Just a few weeks in Spain.
I'll play my castanets
On the plane.
I'm not buying much for Christmas
Just a trip and a cruise;
It's for me.
With my cruise and my trip
Soon I'll be on that ship.
I'll feel so free.
Ha, ha, ha,
Ha, ha , ha,
Ha, ha, ha,
Ha, ha, ha,
Ha, ha, ha,
Ha, ha, ha, ha!
I might need a place for Christmas;
Perhaps on the city's west side.
When my husband finds out
How I shop when I'm out,
Then I'll need a good place
To hide.
