MAKIN' THINGS by BURGES JOHNSON

First Line: WHENEVER CHRISTMAS TIME COMES ROUND IT REALLY / DOESN'T TAKE
Last Line: IF FOLKS WOULD ONLY USE THE THINGS FOR WHAT I MAKE 'EM FOR!
Subject(s): CHILDREN; GIFTS & GIVING; CHILDHOOD;

Whenever Christmas time comes round it really doesn't take
Much money, 'cause the folks prefer the presents that I @3make.@1
And so, for days and days before, I saw and pound and glue,
A-making things and planning who's the best to give 'em to.
But sometimes I get thinking that I'd really like it more
If folks would only use the things for what I make 'em for!
