Story Behind The Song

One day at Christmas time I was at a fast food restaurant with my family when my youngest was about 18 months old. There was a tray of sliced pickles on the table, and she discovered that they stick to windows. My other daughter and I made up the song right there on the spot.

Song Description

People either really love this song or just can't stand it because its sung by a child. In the 60's & 70's this would have been called a "novelty song" a la "I'm Gettin' Nuttin' for Christmas." It's about a nutty kid leaving pickles out for Santa, making Christmas cards with pickles, etc.etc.

Pickles
Lyrics & Music by Judy and Emma Pancoast © 1998

I'm puttin' pickles on the window,
I'm puttin' pickles on the window,
I'm puttin' pickles on the window
For Santa Claus to see;
I'm baking pickle cookies,
I'm baking pickle cookies,
I'm baking pickle cookies
For Santa clause to eat!

I'm puttin' out pickle ornaments,
I'm puttin' out pickle ornaments,
I'm puttin' out pickle ornaments
For Santa Claus to hang!

chorus
Of all the things I like to eat,
Pickles are my favorite treat
I love to taste their tangy slime,
Especially at Christmas-time!

I'm hangin' pickles on the mantle,
I'm hangin' pickles on the mantle,
I'm hangin' pickles on the mantle
For Santa Claus to fill!

Puttin' out pickles for the reindeer,
I'm puttin' out pickles for the reindeer,
I'm puttin' out pickles for the reindeer,
For Rudolph and his pals.
I'm painting pickle Christmas cards,
I'm painting pickle Christmas cards,
I'm painting pickle Christmas cards
To send to all my pals!
repeat chorus

I'm puttin' pickles on the window,
I'm puttin' pickles on the window,
I'm puttin' pickles on the window,
For Santa Claus, for Santa Claus
For Santa Claus to see! YUM!
