Oh, the winter nights are long
But the days go by so slow
So I have just one question
Where did November go?

Oh, no

I'm running down the high street
Going door to door
I'm sure that there was something
You liked in here before

I'm begging to each shop keep
To help this stupid man
Who had eleven months but still
Didn't make a plan

You see I am forgetful
I don't mean nothing by
I've checked in every gift shop
But nothing's caught my eye

I might just write a letter
To jolly old saint nick
Dear santa, can you help me
To find a present quick?

The greatest gift
You can give to me
Is something special for my baby

Cause if I could
I would give them my heart
But if we're being practical
I don't know where to start

The greatest gift
You can give to me
Is something to make my darling happy

Cause all I need
Is to see them smile
So when this is all over
It will all be worthwhile
Maybe the next aisle!

I'm still here stuck on main street
Going shop to shop
I'm sure that it was in here
But now it's out of stock

I saw a pretty trinket
All fancy and bespoke
But if I were to buy it
Then I'd be completely broke

You know I'm not a rich man
Can't buy you gold or pearls
If only I knew how then I swear
I'd give you the world

This holiday might break me
I'm just a nervous wreck
Dear santa, can you help me
Maybe just write a check?

The greatest gift
You can give to me
Is something special for my honey

Cause if I could
I would give them my heart
But if we're being practical
I don't know where to start

The greatest gift
You can give to me
Is something to make my darling happy

Cause all I need
Is to see them smile
So when this is all over
It will all be worthwhile
Why's this such a trial?

The greatest gift
I can give to you
Is a promise that I will always be true

Cause if I could
I would give you my heart
But if we're being practical
I don't know where to start

The greatest gift
You can give to me
Is to always be here to make me happy

Cause all I need
Is to see you smile
And every time I'm with you
You make my life worthwhile
