Shopping Bag Menagerie Songtext

von Rotary Connection

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
