Stan Rogers At Last I'm Ready For Christmas
Last Boxing Day the wife went out the "White Sales" for
to see,
In trunk-load lots bought half-price paper and tinsel
for the tree.
I packed it up for use this year in a box I marked so
plain.
That stuff would sure be handy now, but it's never been
seen again!
Chorus:
At last I'm ready for Christmas, I've even finished the
tree,
At last I'm ready for Christmas, like I thought I'd
never be!
With my feet propped up by a good hot fire and a
matching inside glow;
At last I'm ready for Christmas, with nearly two hours
to go!
We swore this year we'd start off early, no need to
rush around;
The intention was to start in August when the prices
still were down!
But it was dentist-this and new bike-that and the money
melts away;
So I had to wait for Christmas bonus and did it all
yesterday!
Chorus: At last…
We must be fools, just look at that pile, you can
hardly see the tree!
We said this year we'd keep things simple, then did our
usual spree.
But it feels so good when the kids go nuts! It's worth
the toil and strain.
These kids are only this young once and they'll never
be so again.
Chorus: At last…
