[Intro]
D7
[Verse 1]
D7
Early Christmas morning, sneaky as can be
D7
I creep across the carpet and I peek under the tree
G7
Pick out a gift from Mom to me, bring it to my ear
A7
Give it a little shimmy-shake and what do I hear?
[Refrain 1]
D7
Socks!
D7
(Tube socks)
[Chorus 1]
D7 A7
This is the worst gift I ever got
D7 G7
It doesn't beep or buzz or bop or rattle in the box
D7 N.C. D7
Hey, why'd you waste the paper on a lousy pair of socks?
[Verse 2]
D7
Tip-toe to the mantle, a scowl upon my brow
D7
I reach up to my stocking hanging from a holly bough
G7
I reach right in and feel around for Santa Claus's loot
A7
But all I find is something there to insulate my boots
[Refrain 2]
D7
Socks!
D7
(Knee-high)
[Chorus 2]
D7 A7
Santa, how could you let me down?
D7 G7
It doesn't slip or slide or spring or make a sound that rocks
D7 N.C. D7
Hey, why'd you stuff my stocking with a lousy pair of socks?
[Organ Solo]
D7 G7 D7 A7 G7 D7
[Bridge]
G7
O Moms and Dads across the land, be careful what you do
D7
Your girls and boys might ball 'em up and toss 'em back at you
G7
And next time when old Santa comes and the evening's getting late
E7 A7
Instead of milk and cookies I will leave upon his plate
[Refrain 3]
D7
Socks!
D7
(Argyle)
[Chorus 1]
D7 A7
This is the worst gift I ever got
D7 G7
It doesn't beep or buzz or bop or rattle in that box

Why'd you waste the paper on a lousy pair of socks?
