Christmas clothes
I got six shirts for Christmas,
Five scarves and two new suits,
And several pairs of trousers,
And several pairs of boots,
I wanted to show everyone
The clothes that I had got,
And so I wore them all at once
And felt extremely hot.
Five scarves and two new suits,
And several pairs of trousers,
And several pairs of boots,
I wanted to show everyone
The clothes that I had got,
And so I wore them all at once
And felt extremely hot.
