[Verse 1]
My billfold does not have a prayer
There is Christmas catalogs everywhere
She keeps looking at the jewelry section
Cutting pictures out of her selections
I said we need to hold it down this year
And in her eye she got a big old tear
She wants a Christmas rock
But Santa's pockets has not got no roll

[Chorus]
She do not want pots and pans
Just something shining on her hand
With an emerald or a diamond on it
I had a budget but she is gone and blown it
Down to the jewelry store, here I go
Hear the clerk say, ho, ho, ho
She wants a Christmas rock
But Santa's pockets has not got no roll

[Verse 2]
She does not want anything from sears
No tools or garden shears
There is something special on her mind
And I cannot even afford the shine
I wish she would settled for a long nightshirt
No, I have got to give till it hurts
She wants a Christmas rock
But Santa's pockets has not got no roll
[Chorus]
She do not want pots and pans
Just something shining on her hand
With an emerald or a diamond on it
I had a budget but she is gone and blown it
Down to the jewelry store, here I go
Hear the clerk say, ho, ho, ho
She wants a Christmas rock
But Santa's pockets has not got no roll

[Outro]
She wants a Christmas rock
But old Santa's pockets has not got no roll
