The present in your lap Has already been unwrapped Already given and already used Many times before you And so it goes That knowing where it's been Makes you worry that within It's been tampered with Has it gone bad? Open it and see Maybe it's filled to the brim with magic pennies Each time the present is received There are more And they will roll all over the floor and past your feet And give themselves away out on the street To everyone they meet Grab the pennies off the floor Take the pennies to a store Buy everything you could afford And don't tell anyone
