Lyric
My billfold doesn’t have a prayerThere’s Christmas catalogs everywhere She keeps looking at the jewelry section Cutting pictures out of her selectionsI said we need to hold it down this yearAnd in her eye she got a big ol’ tear She wants a Christmas rock But Santa’s pockets ain’t got no rollShe don’t want pots and pansJust 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 Hear the clerk say, ho, ho, ho She wants a Christmas rock But Santa’s pockets ain’t got no rollShe don’t want anything from searsNo tools or garden shears There’s something special on her mind And I can’t even afford the shineI wish she’d settled for a long nightshirtNo, I’ve got to give till it hurts She wants a Christmas rock But Santa’s pockets ain’t got no rollShe don’t want pots and pansJust 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 Hear the clerk say, ho, ho, ho She wants a Christmas rock But Santa’s pockets ain’t got no rollShe wants a Christmas rockBut ol’ Santa’s pockets ain’t got no roll
