Story Behind The Song

I WISH I COULD SAY THIS TUNE WAS WRITTEN FOR A CERTAIN GIRL, BUT THE HOOK JUST CAME TO ME ONE DAY. DON AND I FOUGHT LIKE CATS AND DOGS WRITING THIS. IT WAS 100 DEGREES, ON OUR WAY TO AN OUTDOOR WEDDING THAT I DID NOT WANT TO ATTEND, MY SUIT WAS WAY TOO TIGHT (AS I HAD GAINED TEN POUNDS!) AND DON'S FIRST LINE WAS..."Bobby wants a ten speed english racer"... I THOUGHT IT WAS STUPID. EVERY SONG WE WRITE INCLUDES A FIGHT OR TWO. I GUESS THAT'S HOW IT GOES WHEN YOU KNOW EACH OTHER SO WELL.

Song Description

SHORT OF MONEY FOR CHRISTMAS, A MAN TELLS HIS WIFE THAT SHE IS THE BEST GIFT HE COULD WANT.

Lyrics

JUST PUT A RIBBON IN YOUR HAIR



1)
BOBBY WANTS A TEN SPEED ENGLISH RACER
JENNY WANTS THAT FUZZY TEDDY BEAR
NOW YOU'RE ASKING ME WHAT I'D LIKE FROM SANTA
FOR CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR
WELL THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS YOU COULD BUY FOR ME
BUT THEY WOULDN'T MEAN AS MUCH AS YOU STANDING BY THAT TREE



(CHORUS)
JUST PUT A RIBBON IN YOUR HAIR DARLING
YOU'LL BE THE BEST GIFT ANYWHERE CHRISTMAS MORNING
THERE'S NO WORLDLY TREASURE
I'D LIKE ANY BETTER
THAN YOU STANDING THERE
JUST PUT A RIBBON IN YOUR HAIR



2)
COLOURED BOXES FILLED WITH FANCY PRESENTS
THEY'RE A MIGHTY PRETTY SIGHT IT'S TRUE
BUT ALL THOSE PRETTY THINGS JUST CAN'T COMPARE
TO THE BEAUTY IN YOU
ON CHRISTMAS DAY THE GREATEST GIFT I'LL KNOW
WILL BE HAVING YOU TO HOLD UNDERNEATH THE MISTLETOE



CHORUS REPEAT



MERRY CHRISTMAS, BABY (spoken)
