I got ten toy soldiers for Billy Joe I got coloring book for Sue

I got a little toy train for Danny boy and a cowboy suit for Loui

I got a talkin' baby doll for Cindy I got a pair o'roller skates for

Jane

And baby if we ever have any more kiss Christmas shoppin's

gonna drive me insane



Gonna go this Christmas shopping well I wonder if I'll ever get

through

I tried to get everybody somethin' that they wanted

But I didn't know what to get you

I read the kids letters to Santa Claus I read 'em over one by

one

And I surely like to get my hands on the fella that said

Christmas shoppin's fun

I got ten toy soldiers...



Well I must've walked a hundred miles or more I went to

every store in town

My feet started swellin' and my head started achin'

And I couldn't find a place to sit down

But to tell you the truth well I really don't mind it I could even

walk another mile

Cause on Christmas mornin' when they open up the presents

Well it's worth it just to see them smile

I got ten toy soldiers...
