The Lyrics

I had to get this one out before Christmas. Listen along here SoundClick

Oh yes, I’m the great re-gifter
Re-gifting is where I excel
When I get crap, I re-box, re-wrap
A nice bow, and no one can tell

Oh yes, I’m a great re-gifter
A gift that I give seems brand new
Old socks - argyle - given with a smile
And all that I’ll hear is, “Thank you!”

The odd candle holders I got last year
I give to my boss and I act quite sincere

Oh yes, I’m a great re-gifter
Bestowing old junk on my friends
Some ugly jeans, and kitchen machines
And no one can tell in the end
Its money I don’t have to spend

Those sweaters I got from my grand-mama
They’re no good to me, I live in Florida

Yes, I’m a great re-gifter
Of who gave me what, I keep track
The list I keep, of who’s rich, who’s cheap
Ensures that I don’t give it back
If I do, then friends I will lack.

Very good job, and does not lack credibility

This one was a little rushed so I could submit before Christmas. Not my best effort, but thanks to:

Timmah! - I think you're safe.

alvin - It was mine, too

Holly - Sadly, there are still some things I remain clueless about.

Ann - Is that my present this year? A couple of hos?

AFW - I'm credible? That's incredible!

Tyrone - I recall that episode, too, but I don't know if he was the first to use "re-gift"

Lord McKludge, your cluelessness is part of your charm, Sir ! . . . Do have a Merry Christmas, and hoping to see your parodies looking fine in 2 0 0 9.

Nah, you're looking at it the wrong way. It's "recycling", it's "green", and it's good for the environment.... I just happen to have a few Fives that you gave me from my post -- don't look too closely, 'cuz they're the same Fives I'm giving you. (psst -- pass 'em on.)

LCC - Have we met? :-)

TT - Yes, but it's not very Capitalist of me. Well, I did have to spend $2 on the wrapping paper.
