All I want for Christmas are your family group sheets.
Your family group sheets, Your family group sheets
Gee, if I could only have your family group sheets
Then I would have a Merry Christmas!
It's been quite a while since we first talked
And you said that you would send me information.
Gosh, Oh gee, How happy I'd be.
I'm not a fan of one-way communication!
I don't mean to be a pest or harrass you.
Harass you, Harass you
I don't mean to be a pest or harass you.
But I really need those family group sheets!
I need to know, was it Jack or Joe
Or was it Fred, George, Bill, or was it Uncle Francis
Who was your great grandpa? Are we related after all?
I need help filling in fam'ly tree branches!
I'll gladly reimburse you copy fees & postage costs.
Copy fees & postage costs, Copy fees & postage costs
I don't expect something for nothing, I have much to share.
Collaborating will make a Merry Christmas!
Perhaps you think you haven't much I need to know.
But I assure you every little piece helps.
It takes more than just names that match & dates that seem to fit
To put together an accurate family history!
So much has been lost with the passage of time
And the failure of most folks to keep in touch.
Our lives might seem quite dull and of no import
But one can't know which mundane things
Will mean so much!
One day, when down the road our bones have turned to dust
Have turned to dust, Have turned to dust
Our family will know how we lived if we will only learn to share
Pieces of ourselves through family history!
It's true some may say, she was a wacky ol' dame
Who seemed to care more for the dead than for the living.
But time will tell, if she spent her time well.
Please remember, it is the season to be giving
I hope you're not offended by my begging song.
My begging song, My begging song
I hope you'll note my address and you'll send ASAP
Family History to wish me Merry Christmas
All I want for Christmas are your family group sheets.
Your family group sheets, Yeah,your family group sheets
Gee if I could only have your family group sheets
Then I would have a Merry Christmas!!
