It was December, I was just a boy
Optimistic and filled with joy
during the holidays, during the holidays

There was snow on the windowsills
But all I wondered is will
it come today

Nothing in life is guaranteed
But one book had all I need

It was the 1985 Sears Christmas Catalog
The 1985 Sears Christmas Catalog
They called it a “Wish Book”
One look is all it took

Colored lights up and down the street
But those pages have all the treats
That I’m hoping for

Some people only want love and peace
But Castle Grayskull is staring back at me
on page 444

Turning the pages is so pleasing
I got the book that’s the reason for the season

It was the 1985 Sears Christmas Catalog
The 1985 Sears Christmas Catalog
GI Joe Battleship
I just can’t live without it

(Bridge)

The Ominbot 2000
And a Commador 64
My list is getting crowded
And there is so much more

Stockings are hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that Voltron soon will be there
I just can’t wait, no I just can’t wait

Jabba’s dungeon playset is still here
It’s marked down half price from last year
It’s not to late, not it’s not too late

The Go-Bots look lame but I’m feeling fine
The Transformers are over on page 439

It was the 1985 Sears Christmas Catalog
The 1985 Sears Christmas Catalog
There was so much to see
Underoos for you and me

They called it a “Wish Book”
One look is all it took

They called it wish book, but really it was a Catalog
