Lyrics
- As Christmas comes around again
As Christmas comes around
The girls and boys think of their toys
While I think of the other joys
Of what I’d like this Christmas day
My letter to St Nick will say
Refrain
Oh, please dear Santa give me a man
Any kind of a man will do
I don’t care if he’s eighty two
I’m tired of living all by myself
I dreadfully fear I’ll stay on the shelf
So, please dear Santa give me a man
- As Christmas comes around again
As Christmas comes around
Where families gather round a tree
That is the think I’d like for me
While ev’ry one is glad and gay
To old St. Nick I always pray - Another Christmas day will come
I’m feelin’ rather glum
Each year has been just like the last
St. Nick did not send what I asked
And now ’tis time to write again
Please, Santa, are there any men?
