Merle Haggard
Bobby Wants a Puppy Dog for Christmas
[Chorus]
Bobby wants a puppy dog for Christmas
I know you plan to bring electric train
Bobby wants a puppy dog for Christmas
That's the only song we hear him sing

[Verse 1]
Santa, please remember Bobby's lonely
The closest neighbor's farm is quite a ways
And the country school don't have no children Bobby's size
And I'd like to give him something he can raise

[Chorus]
And Bobby wants a puppy dog for Christmas
I know you plan to bring electric train
But Bobby wants a puppy dog for Christmas
That's the only song we hear him sing

[Verse 2]
Butch and Susie won't be here for Christmas
And he won't see his cousins now till spring
If we can find a playmate he can play with
Santa, that'll be all you have to bring

[Chorus]
And Bobby wants a puppy dog for Christmas
I know you plan to bring electric train
But Bobby wants a puppy dog for Christmas
That's the only song we hear him sing
