A long purple gown or a bright golden crown
Or a factory of chocolates, of course
A big fancy ball or a small waterfall
Or a young white Arabian horse

The best, best gifts in the world
Are the kind that big money can buy
A hot-air balloon or the planet Neptune
Or a luxury cruise in July

A sleek antelope or the diamond of hope
Or the arch on the Champs Elysses
The city of Nice or the country of Greece
Or some bright jingle bells and a sleigh

The best, best gifts in the world
Are the kind that big money can buy
A hot-air balloon or the planеt Neptune
Or a luxury cruise in July
Thе things that big money can buy

The best, best gifts in the world
Are the kind that big money can't buy
A home filled with love, or a clean sky above
Or good friends who are always nearby
These things big money can't buy
