(version 2)All My Little Sister Wants (for Christmas)
By Alan Oatley 02/27/05
(Dear Santa,)
All my little sister wants for Christmas is to have her Daddy back
He?s the best Dad ever known
And that?s a fact
He?s somewhere across the ocean in a place they call Iraq
And all she wants for Christmas is to see
Our Daddy here on Christmas morning
Standing by the Christmas tree.
Last year you brought her something from
The? Sponge Bob Square pants? family
And another ?Barbie Doll? was welcomed too.
And the year before you brought her ?Elmo? and she was tickled as can be
But she?s told me,? Though I like him, still, Elmo doesn?t tickle ?me?.?
Mommy says, ?Daddy?s job is important
And that?s where he has to be?
But Santa what my little sister needs
Is to see her Daddy Christmas morning
Standing by our Christmas tree
(Instrumental)
And the year before when you brought her ?Elmo? we were as tickled as can be
But she told me yesterday,? I miss my Daddy tickling ?me?.?
Well we know his job is important
And he?s there to keep us free
But Santa what my little sister needs
Is our Daddy here this Christmas morning
Standing by the Christmas tree.
So won?t you bring him here this Christmas morning
Cause that?s all we really need.
