Lyric

My billfold doesn’t have a prayerThere’s Christmas catalogs everywhereShe keeps looking at the jewelry sectionCutting pictures out of her selections
I said we need to hold it down this yearAnd in her eye she got a big ol’ tearShe wants a Christmas rockBut Santa’s pockets ain’t got no roll
She don’t want pots and pansJust something shinin’ on her handWith an emerald or a diamond on itI had a budget but she’s gone and blown itDown to the jewelry store, here I goHear the clerk say, ho, ho, hoShe wants a Christmas rockBut Santa’s pockets ain’t got no roll
She don’t want anything from searsNo tools or garden shearsThere’s something special on her mindAnd I can’t even afford the shine
I wish she’d settled for a long nightshirtNo, I’ve got to give till it hurtsShe wants a Christmas rockBut Santa’s pockets ain’t got no roll
She don’t want pots and pansJust something shinin’ on her handWith an emerald or a diamond on itI had a budget but she’s gone and blown itDown to the jewelry store, here I goHear the clerk say, ho, ho, hoShe wants a Christmas rockBut Santa’s pockets ain’t got no roll
She wants a Christmas rockBut ol’ Santa’s pockets ain’t got no roll
