With Christmas near, I have to thank
My greedy little piggy bank.
All year he stood there with a grin,
While I put dimes and nickels in.
All year he stood there on the shelf
And saved them in his little self.
And now, in time for Christmas shopping,
They tumble out. There’s just no stopping
That piggy’s pride and glee, because —
He’s made me rich as Santa Claus!
