50 Presents (To the tune of I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) by the Proclaimers)

This Christmas well I know I'm gonna get
I'm gonna get all the things that you wanted
While I'm shopping well I know I'm gonna look
I'm gonna look for the things you pointed out

If I'm doubtful well you know I'm gonna ask
I'm gonna ask if that's what you had told me
And if I'm wrong well you know I'm gonna get
I'm gonna get you something else instead of that

But I would get you 50 presents
And I would get you 50 more
Just to be the girl who got you
All the things that you'd been asking for

Well I know you and I know that you asked for
You asked for all the most expensive stuff you could
And I'm not rich but you know I'm gonna try
I'm gonna try to give you everything you want

While I'm looking well you know I'm gonna find
I'm gonna find all of things I can on sale
And if I've got to well you know I'm gonna cut
I'm gonna cut all of the coupons I can find

But I would get you 50 presents
And I would get you 50 more
Just to be the girl who got you
All the things that you'd been asking for

Da lat da (Da lat da), da lat da (Da lat da)
Da-da-da dun-diddle un-diddle un-diddle uh da-da
Da lat da (Da lat da), da lat da (Da lat da)
Da-da-da dun-diddle un-diddle un-diddle uh da-da

Well I'm trying, and you know I've gotta say
I've gotta say that this is no small task
And you know what, well you know I'm starting to
I'm starting to run out of the limits on my cards
And when the money's gone, well you know I'm gonna try
I'm gonna try and figure out how to make more
If it means I've gotta work, well you know I'm gonna work
I'm gonna work to get the money set aside for you
I'm gonna work to get the money set aside for you

But I would get you 50 presents
And I would get you 50 more
Just to be the girl who got you
All the things that you'd been asking for

Da lat da (Da lat da), da lat da (Da lat da)
Da-da-da dun-diddle un-diddle un-diddle uh da-da
Da lat da (Da lat da), da lat da (Da lat da)
Da-da-da dun-diddle un-diddle un-diddle uh da-da
Da lat da (Da lat da), da lat da (Da lat da)
Da-da-da dun-diddle un-diddle un-diddle uh da-da
Da lat da (Da lat da), da lat da (Da lat da)
Da-da-da dun-diddle un-diddle un-diddle uh da-da

But I would get you 50 presents
And I would get you 50 more
Just to be the girl who got you
All the things that you'd been asking for

You don't wanna listen to this

Santa Clause By my Tree(Tune from Papercut by Linkin Park)

Snow is falling from the air these days
Someone will be flying in the air tonight
Why do the hours slowly go by today?
Presents will be coming soon
I don't know what I'll be getting
The cookies are ready on a plate
Santa will be coming real soon
I count down the hours in my head
I listen for footsteps above
For any sound of reindeer above
And then sleigh bells are heard
I hold my breath as I leave the bed
(Ho Ho Ho’s fill the air)
I climb down the stairs silently
Slowly peer right around the corner
Goosebumps appear right on my skin

[Chorus]
He’s right there over by the tree
With a big bag right on his back
It's like I can't stop looking right at him
It's Santa Clause standing right there by my tree

I know I shouldn’t still be here
Watching Santa as he opens his bag
Placing all sizes of boxes under the tree
I really need to get back to bed
I don't know if I can go right back up to my room
Everybody won’t believe what I seen
I wish I had a camera I could use
Than everybody will know I’m telling the truth
Than as quickly as he arrived
He turned on his heels
Went right back up the chimney
(Whoosh, up he went)
I’d curse under my breath but then it passes
I wonder over to the tree and joy washes over me
There’s presents right there for me

[Chorus: x2]

Santa Clause was standing right there by my tree
Santa Clause was standing right there by my tree
Santa Clause was standing right there by my tree

The sun comes up
Time to open presents!

[Chorus]

He’s right there over by the tree
With a big bag right on his back
It's like I can't stop looking right at him
It's like I can't stop looking right at him
It's like I can't stop looking right at him
It's Santa Clause standing right there by my tree

All that Snow
(All that Jazz from the Musical Chicago)

Come on, friend
Why dont we ride the town
In all that snow

I'm gonna wet my knees
And roll my stockings up
In all that snow

Start the sleigh
I know a wicked spot
Where the floor is cold
But the pie is hot

It's just a noisy hall
Where there's an earthly fire
In all that snow

Slick your hair
And wear your christmas shoes
In all that snow

I hear that Father Claus
Is gonna blow the blues
In all that snow

Hold on, hon'
We're gonna bear hug
I bought some tinsel
Down at United Carols

In case you shake the tree
And wanna brand new star
In that snow

Oh, we're gonna see you
Sheba shimmy shake
In all that snow

Oh, she's gonna shimmy
Till her bows break
In all that snow

Show her where to park her reeinder
Oh, her mother's blood'd curdle
If she'd hear her baby's animal
In all that snow

Find a ball
We're playing snow fights
In all that snow

Right up here
Is where I store the sleigh
In all that snow

Come on, friend
We're gonna touch the sky
I betcha lucky
Vixen never flew so high

'Cause in the stratosphere
How could she lend an ear
In all that snow?

So that's final,
Yeah, I'm afraid so, Rudolph
Afraid? Yeah
Nobody walks out on me

No, I'm no one's santa
But, oh, I love my life
In all that snow
That snow

I'm sick so this is no bueno
