Though Jack may receive Christmas presents galore,
And some of them just like he saw in the store,
He’s happy, and counts on a big lot of fun,
To get at their innards and see how they run!
But dinner-time captivates every small boy—
It's not just a pleasure but positive joy
To eat, eat and eat till he's full to the brim—
That is what Christmas-day means to him!

And welcomes the guests with a gesture that’s grand,
And puffs his seegar with the nifty gold band;
He just likes to give folks a mighty good time,
Though it take every dollar and ‘most every dime;
Yes, he wants every one to be happy and glad—
That is what Christmas-day means to Dad!
