Looks like a garage sale Christmas, white elephants neath the tree - We ain't got much but a couple of bucks buys gifts for the family - Here' a plastic deer for Peggy. Looks like he lost a leg, but I found him in the free box right next to some Easter eggs.

A genuine Hummel for Grandma from the big house up the street. Too bad its head is glued back on and it lost both of its feet! An orange polyester jumpsuit for Sally, I bought it for a dime, it says "San Francisco Jail" on the back but didn't she do time? A Mexican Rolex for grandpa, It only cost a quarter, do you think he'll mind that it doesn't keep time and I smuggled it over the border?

Here's a mink for Robin, its fur is getting thin, let's put it in the dryer on air, but - first we'll have to catch him! And for our baby boomer pals here's a pile of 33's and a broken down turn table and I got them all for free.

A pair of 70's bellbottoms are perfect for dad's job at the dump- But if that darn place gets too hot, they may stick to his rump! Then there's that rare lava lamp that I found last year for a dime, It's going to my friends from Bible camp, I think they'll like it fine!

A fly hood ornament for Sonny and a book of magic tricks. He can use them on the junkyard special It may look very slick. Look what I found for the inlaws, a couple of like new games, "manacles and shackels" and tip of the whip for dames.

Looks like a garage sale Christmas, white elephants neath the tree - We win't got much but a couple of bucks buys gifts for the family.
