What can I give you this Christmas,
With prices up so very high?
A kiss (or even twenty!),
Cost not a dime or penny,
A gift we cannot sell or buy --
That is what I shall give you this Christmas!

What can I give you this Christmas,
With prices up so very high?
Some hugs -- a baker's dozen,
Would set your heart a-buzzin',
A gift we cannot sell or buy --
That is what I can give you this Christmas!

What can I give you this Christmas,
With prices up so very high?
A smile of joy and gladness,
To chase off any sadness,
A gift we cannot sell or buy --
That is what I can give you this Christmas!

What can I give you this Christmas,
With prices up so very high?
A wish of health and treasure,
Success, and peace, and pleasure,
A gift we cannot sell or buy --
That is what I can give you this Christmas!
