Most every store upon our street Is bulging with the crowd But paint and paper stores, it seems Are cloaked in heavy shroud. They pass right by our door Without the slightest glance To see what we might have for them. They give us not a chance. Then suddenly there comes to us The reason for it all - These folks are buying Christmas gifts Not paint for the wall. May alC the days your Christmas he merry a nd bright / A Who'er heard of anyone Who gave at Christmas-time A package neatly wrapped and tied Containing turpentine? It's no use to fret and cry And sob an awfully lot The paint store folks at Christmas-time Are by everyone forgot! Paii 55 King S
