(Melanie Safka)
I was a lovin baby girl
Mommy, daddy had I none
Be my mommy, daddy
I will be your lovin one
Before the time I knew your face dear
I was doing very well
If I never knew your kisses
I'd never known that I'd been in hell
If I had some pennies
I could have a world of fun
Give me all your pennies
And I will be your lovin one
Once upon a christmas time

I lost christmas in my mind
I looked through all the windows 'round
To find a star I hadn't found
Then all at once
Before I knew
Christmas froze my soul into
A cryful night I had a dream
And saw a place I'd never seen
If I had some pennies
I could have a world of fun
Give me all your pennies
And I will be your lovin one
I was a lovin baby girl
Mommy, daddy had I none
Be my mommy, daddy
I will be your lovin one
