Mother will you teach me
to make a Christmas Pie
Soon the season will be upon us
and I would like to try
to make, and bake
the sweetest Christmas
that anyone has seen
I am much older now
you can show me how to begin
I want to be your helper
with all the Christmas needs
the cooking and the shopping
the cleaning and the tree
I know I have much to learn
and willing to stand by
and listen as you teach me
to make a beautiful, Christmas Pie...
