Avon’s Christmas Wish
By Leah Rosenthal & Ann Wortham

(Tune is from Have Yourself A Looney Tunes Xmas Album)

All I want for Christmas is more, more, more
More than a tech ever got before
Gimme caboodles and oodles and oodles
And soon all my loot’ll slide out the door

I hope Santa brings a real truckload
It won’t all fit into his sleigh
This Christmas there won’t be a “duckload”
The curly-haired gawk’s gone away!

Oh, ‘tis better to give than receive, they say
I know you’ve heard that before
I’ll give my advice, and that is it’s nice
To get more, more, more!

All I want for Christmas is more, more, more
More than you might give a dinosaur!
I’d like 5 million—maybe 5 billion!
Till I’m too silly in Season Four
And when Santa comes down my chim-en-y
With gifties and goodies galore
I hope he can squish in, this Alpha’s a-wishin’
For more, more, more!

If yours is silver
Then mine must be gold
If yours needs a push
Mine’s remote-controlled
If yours goes “whoosh”
Then mine goes “zoom!”
If yours says “rat-tat-tat”
Then mine goes “kaboom!”

And when Santa comes down my chim-en-y
With gifties and goodies galore
I hope he can squish in, this Alpha’s a-wishin’
For more, more, more, more, more, more, MORE!
