It was Christmas Eve
And we could not understand
They wanted us to go to bed
We were so out of hand
Excitement it did fill us up
Dad bought me a tricycle
He got it for three bucks
He was putting it together
To a sound I did not know
The noise went on forever
Curiosity did make me peek
It was red with a big horn
Twas gleaming and so sleek
I was only four years old
But I remember I didn't sleep
When the morning came
I just wasn't the same
I did keep it a secret
That I knew it was for me
