That's What I Want For Chrismas - Shirley Temple

Inside the embers glow.

Outside the drifting snow.

Downstairs the world and it’s cares.

Upstaris a child and it’s pray’rs.

Make my mommy’s life a song,

Keep my Daddy safe and strong,

Let me have them all year long,

That’s what I want for Christmas.

Let my dolls be made of rags,

Fireman hats of paper bags

Just write love on the Christmas tags,

That’s what I want for Christmas.

When I wake up Christmas day,

I would like to find a sleigh,

But if I don’t, dear Santa Claus,

I will not complain, because

What I really want is this,

Sister’s smile, and brother’s kiss,

Fill our land with peace and bliss,

From Maine down to the Isthmus,

That’s what I want for Christmas!

I don’t want electric trains,

Twenty dollar aeroplanes,

Free our friends of aches and panes,

That’s what I want for Christmas.

I like boots with tops of blue,

Like my little sisters do So if you leave them, leave a few,

That’s what I want for Christmas.

When the reindeer pass my house,

I’ll be quiet as a mouse,

But when I wake up, let me see,

Marching 'round the Christmas tree,

Animals that never bite,

Never giving any fright,

Soldier boys who never fight,

That’s what I want for Christmas,

Yes, That’s what I want for Christmas!
