Fixing For Christmas

They're fixin' for the Christmas time an' countin' all their joys--

Bushels big of sugar plums an' wagons full o' toys;

Just as they used to figure it, the old an' gray haired boys--

An' blessings on their bright dreams in the mornin'!

They're fixin' for the Christmas time, just as we did of old

When we heard the reindeer runnin', with their tinklin' bells of gold,

An' the good Lord send 'em Christmas, all their rosy arms can hold,

An' blessings on their bright dreams in the mornin'!
