of Montreal – Christmas Is Only Good If You're Not an Animal

I got dolls with silk and sashes
Then I tore out their eyelashes
Mom would wonder if I was evil
When I'd covet my brother's Kenievel

Christmas time is filled with joy
But only if you're a little boy

I got a rocket and a fire truck
How I always cursed my luck
I never wanted trains or trollies
All I wanted were paper dolls

Christmas time around the world
Is only good if you're a little girl

We never get what we wanted
Because what we really want is each others' presents
This may seem bad or just plain silly
But we could change the tags from Sally to Billy
And from Billy to Sally

I think we know now how we can be happy
We found a way to fool Mommy and Daddy
In a few years we many run into messes
When you start wanting to wear my dresses
