My parents took me to the movies In the spring of 1979 Something happened to me As we waited on that line There was a New Hope in my life Than later in that December As we got closer to the holiday My mother asked me to tell her What I'd want for Christmas Day There was just one thing on my mind I just wanted the Millennium Falcon for Christmas And a season full of cheer I just wanted the Millennium Falcon for Christmas But I didn't get it that year And then in 1980 When the Empire Struck Back The YT-1300 Survived a Star Destroyer attack I hoped that I was good enough that year
My mother went to the d**tore And put the ship on layaway They told her that it would be ready In plenty of time for Christmas day But on Christmas Eve it still wasn't there I just wanted the Millennium Falcon for Christmas I was good enough that year I just wanted the Millennium Falcon for Christmas And a season full of cheer My mother cried when they told her that it wasn't there The clerk said he was sorry but he couldn't find it anywhere Please don't cry, they have one at our store 30 miles away I'll go and pick it up so you can have it for Christmas day
