Is this a busy day, Mommy?
My goodness, yes.
Everything in the whole world
is busy at Christmas time.
The evergreens have
to spruce themselves up,
the snowflakes have to fall just right,
and the sleigh bells have to tune up
very, very carefully.
At least we got our shopping done,
didn't we, Mommy?
Yes, dear.
We did that umpteen days ago.
And remember the song we were
singing then?
There are umpteen days before Christmas
And the shopping days are few
Got ta hurry, hurry,
hurry, hurry, hurry
Cause there's umpteen
thousand things to do
Cause I've waited for the last minute
I am in oh such a stew
Gotta hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry
Cause there's umpteen
thousand things to do
Gotta buy a tie for the market clerk
How to decorate the tree
Gotta get some things for
the girls at work
Cause I know they're getting
something for me
There are umpteen days
before Christmas
Santa Claus is al most due
Gotta hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry
Cause there's umpteen thousand things to
do
Gotta buy a doll and a baseball glove
for my brother and my sis
Something extra nice
for the boy I love,
else I wouldn't get that mistletoe kiss
There are umpteen days
before Christmas,
Santa Claus is al most due
Gotta hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry
Cause there's umpteen
thousand things to do
