The Best Gift

An iPod would be nice, but then again.
I like to sit and read my CD covers, listening in the den.
Oooh, I know! That Wii looks kinda fun.
Or maybe I could get fit just by going on a run.

GPS, so I don’t have to ask the way?
But getting lost is half the fun when we go on our holiday.
Perhaps a flat-screen would look great up on the wall.
Well, the TV we’ve got now, there’s nothing wrong with it at all.

(Chorus)
Baby, I know you said I had to make a list.
But I’m certain nothing’s out there that I missed.
I searched the World Wide Web and every store.
The best gift doesn’t come by FedEx, now I know for sure.
I’ll bet your credit card won’t share my point of view,
But all I want for this and every year is you.

A phone that handles e-mail sounds way cool.
Of course, to figure how to use it would mean going back to school.
Well, then, a TiVo to record my favorite show.
Except we don’t have time to do the things we want to do right now.

There must be something out there I could use.
A sweater. Socks. A wristwatch. PJs. What about some shoes?
A toolkit just means work, so scratch that out.
I haven’t found a gizmo on this site that I can’t live without.

(Chorus)
Baby, I know you said I had to make a list.
But I’m certain nothing’s out there that I missed.
I searched the World Wide Web and every store.
The best gift doesn’t come by FedEx, now I know for sure.
I’ll bet your credit card won’t share my point of view,
But all I want for this and every year is you.

(Middle)
Don’t get me wrong, I love the mistletoe and holly.
And festive lights lend every street and square cachet.
This time of year, you won’t find anyone as jolly,
Without a red suit, beard and reindeer, and a levitating sleigh.
Although I’m not too bright, I didn’t go to college,
Season’s greetings come to me within my heart.
I thank whatever God is out there for the knowledge,
Peace and love don’t come inside a shopping cart.

Do I really need a radio in the shower?
Or a laptop I can crank by hand if we lose all the power?
But wait. There’s more! This turns the lights off with a clap.
I had no idea the world was full of so much freaking crap.

(Chorus)
Baby, I know you said I had to make a list.
But I’m certain nothing’s out there that I missed.
I searched the World Wide Web and every store.
The best gift doesn’t come by FedEx. Now I know for sure.
I’ll bet your credit card won’t share my point of view,
But all I want for this and every year is you.
