The Best Gift Songtext
von Rosemary Clooney

The best gift that I ever got
Didn′t really weigh a lot
It didn't have a ribbon ′round
And it sometimes made an awful sound
The best of all, it seems to me
It wasn't 'neath the Christmas tree
And yet, I guess I′d have to say
That it made all the other presents twice as gay


The best gift that I′ve ever known
I'd always wanted most to own
Yet in my dreams of sugar and spice
I never thought it could be so nice
The best gift that I′ll ever get
Was sometimes dry and sometimes wet
Was usually pink, but oftentimes red
As it lay so innocently in its bed

The best gift of the year to me
The one I hold most dear to me
The gift that simply drove me wild
Was a tiny newborn child
