Christmas Shopping Songtext
von Buck Owens

I got ten toy soldiers for Billy Joe
I got a coloring book for Sue
I got a little toy train for Danny boy
And a cowboy suit for Lou
I got a-talkin′ baby doll for Cindy
I got a pair o'roller skates for Jane
And baby, if we ever have any more kids
Christmas shopping′s gonna drive me insane

Gonna go this Christmas shopping
Well, I wonder if I'll ever get through
I tried to get everybody somethin' that they wanted
But I didn′t know what to get you
I read the kids letters to Santa Claus
I read ′em over one by one
And I surely like to get my hands
On the fella that said Christmas shopping's fun


I got ten toy soldiers for Billy Joe
I got a coloring book for Sue
I got a little toy train for Danny boy
And a cowboy suit for Lou
I got a talkin′ baby doll for Cindy
I got a pair o' roller skates for Jane
And baby, if we ever have any more kids
Christmas shopping′s gonna drive me insane

Well, I must've walked a hundred miles or more
I went to every store in town
My feet started swellin′ and my head started achin'
And I couldn't find a place to sit down
But to tell you the truth well, I really don′t mind it
I could even walk another mile
′Cause on Christmas mornin'
When they open up the presents
Well, it′s worth it just to see them smile

I got ten toy soldiers for Billy Joe
I got a coloring book for Sue
I got a little toy train for Danny boy
And a cowboy suit for Lou
I got a talkin' baby doll for Cindy
I got a pair o′ roller skates for Jane
And baby, if we ever have any more kids
Christmas shopping's gonna drive me insane
