Rotary Connection - Shopping Bag Menagerie lyrics

rate me

(Sidney Barnes)

Oh, what's happening to Christmas, the giving from the heart?

Now we give what only have pocketbooks allow

The kids who should be getting love will get a chemistry set

So, we put it in our shopping bags

And hurry home to rest

It's just one day till Christmas as I hurry to the store

The holidays are different and their meanings, I'm not sure

I've worked so hard the whole year long to purchase happiness

Now I put it in my shopping bag

And hurry home to rest

So we stopped at the counter

To buy a pair of socks

Last year, we gave him a tie

And the shirt we bought the year before his size

The snow upon the ground was once a joyful sight to see

But now it's inconvenient to have snow beneath my feet

So many empty souls I've seen is really quite a mess

So, I put it in my shopping bag

And hurry home to rest
