Momma got laid off in April
Daddy down sized in June
By the first week of October
The back foreclosed our home
Now it’s the Christmas season
And my only wish is clear
Hope my present comes in a great big box
So we got somewhere to live next year

Well we lived in the car till November
Then came the repot man
Now we get to walk to the highway
To pick up the bottles and cans
So Santa as you fill your shopping cart
Full of presents that you give
Make sure mine comes in a great big box
So we got somewhere to live

A refrigerator box for daddy
A chest freezer crate for mom
A washer and a drier carton for the living and dining room
Maybe a clear plastic garbage bag
For a window to see the sky
So we can see your reindeer flying by
