My billfold doesn't have a prayer   There's Christmas catalogs everywhere   She keeps looking at the jewelry section   Cutting pictures out of her selections      I said we need to hold it down this year   And in her eye she got a big ol' tear   She wants a Christmas rock   But Santa抯 pockets ain't got no roll      She don't want pots and pans   Just something shinin' on her hand   With an emerald or a diamond on it   I had a budget but she's gone and blown it   Down to the jewelry store, here I go   Hear the clerk say, ho, ho, ho   She wants a Christmas rock   But Santa抯 pockets ain't got no roll      She don't want anything from sears   No tools or garden shears   There's something special on her mind   And I can't even afford the shine      I wish she'd settled for a long nightshirt   No, I抳e got to give till it hurts   She wants a Christmas rock   But Santa抯 pockets ain't got no roll      She don't want pots and pans   Just something shinin' on her hand   With an emerald or a diamond on it   I had a budget but she's gone and blown it   Down to the jewelry store, here I go   Hear the clerk say, ho, ho, ho   She wants a Christmas rock   But Santa抯 pockets ain't got no roll      She wants a Christmas rock   But ol' Santa抯 pockets ain't got no roll
