I jumped out of my bed and headed down to the Christmas tree;
I wondered if a special gift was under the tree for me;
I looked through boxes on my hands and knees;
And figured Santa had forgotten me!
But then I saw two tiny paws and heard it meow for me.

 

Imagine that! A Christmas cat!
Better than a Barbie or a baseball bat!
A tiny kitty, soft and pretty,
Thank you, Santa for my Christmas Cat!

​

My brother got a robot that worked great for a day or two;
A doll that kisses held my sis's fancy while it was new;
I wished for color books and building blocks;
Army soldiers and a horse that rocks;
But I'm so glad that Santa picked the purr-fect-est gift for me.

​

Imagine that! A Christmas cat!

Better than a Barney or a baseball bat!

A tiny kitty, soft and pretty,

Thank you, Santa for my Christmas Cat!

​

For girls and boys whose Christmas toys are fun for a week or two;
Consider this a next-year's recommendation from me to you:
Tell your parents that you must insist
Including as the topper on your Christmas list
The absolutely wonderf'l'st thing that Santa can bring to you.
 

(Chorus)
