Two-Doll Holiday

Two-doll holiday

It's a trip to the dump every Thursday
Gonna get you a doll or a bike
And don't you worry come Christmas or sooner

It's a two-doll holiday
A two-doll holiday
Two-doll holiday

We'll get you some clothes and get you some toys
And dress you for school real fine
And don't you worry about meeting some boys

On a two-doll holiday
A two-doll holiday
Two-doll holiday

Breakfast at Grandma's, I think it's all week
For lunch you fend for yourself
I know it's hard when you're hungry to sleep

Through a two-doll holiday
Through a two-doll holiday
A two-doll holiday

And on a black-shirt Saturday night
I can take my dreams for a ride
Never mind the past or the angels
If there's a stranger I hope I can fly

Your father found some work down the foundry
So we might have the cable back on
If he comes by before he's drunk it all

I'll be a two-doll holiday
I'm a two-doll holiday
I'll be his two-doll holiday

When you grow up I think you'll understand
We've all had to make some decisions
A roof is better than a car in the rain

For a two-doll holiday
On a two-doll holiday
A two-doll holiday
