A fun little
Christmas duet, in which a
boy and
girl lament the
gender-specific
toys they always find under the
Christmas tree:
Her:
I got dolls with silken sashes
And I tore out their eyelashes
Mom would wonder if I was evil
When I'd covet my brother's Knievel
Christmastime is filled with joy
But only if you're a little boy...
Him:
I got a rocket and a firetruck
How I always curse my luck
I never wanted trains or trolleys
All I wanted was paper dollies
Christmastime around the world
Is only good if you're a little girl...
Both:
We never got what we wanted
'Cause what we really wanted is each other's presents.
This may seem bad or just plain silly --
We could change the tag from Sally to Billy!
(Billy to Sally...)
Him:
I think we know now how we can be happy
Both:
We found a way to fool Mommy and Daddy
Her:
In some years we'll run into messes
When you start wanting to wear my dresses...
