Lyrics Bobby Wants a Puppy Dog For Christmas - Merle Haggard

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

Santa, please remember Bobby's lonely
And 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

But Bobby wants a puppy dog for Christmas
And I know you plan to bring an electric train
Bobby wants a puppy dog for Christmas
And that's the only song we hear him sing
(Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)

Butch and Susie won't be here for Christmas
And Bobby won't see his cousins now 'til spring
If we could find a playmate he could play with
Hey Santa, that'll be all you have to bring

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