Christmas Rock

Oh, my billfold doesn't have a prayer

There's Christmas catalogs everywhere

She keeps lookin' at the jewelry section

Cuttin' pictures out of her selection

I said we need to hold it down this year

And in her eye, she got a big ol' tear

She wants a Christmas rock

But Santa's pockets ain't got no roll

She don't want no pots and pans

Just somethin' 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

To hear the clerk say "Ho Ho Ho"

She wants a Christmas rock

But Santa's pockets ain't got no roll

She don't want anything from Sears

No tools or a garden shear

There's somethin' special on her mind

And I can't even afford the shine

I wish she'd settle for a long nightshirt

Though I got to give 'til it hurts

She wants a Christmas rock

But Santa's pockets ain't got no roll

She don't want no pots and pans

Just somethin' 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

To hear the clerk say "Ho Ho Ho"

She wants a Christmas rock

But Santa's pockets ain't got no roll

Yeah, she wants a Christmas rock

But ol' Santa's pockets ain't got no roll
