The man who owns the farm where your playmates do live
He knew they were strangers that came from the town
“Oh no!” he cried, “Dear God don't let it be
Daddy, someday I'll be a man
How a heart so young could conceive a plan
As the men swiftly walked to the cottage door
He told me it'd have to be this way
They can't take my sweetheart away”
And give them all the toys that dear Santa gave
That's why they are moving today
He stopped to watch a truck that was parking next door
For winter time has come and the work is all done
They soon went to work when he heard his daddy say
Let us buy the farm so they can stay
I know dad, you don't understand
At the home of his tiny playmate
Men he had never seen before
I'm only seven now but it's just like you say
“Our neighbors are moving today”
Then he saw his daddy watching too
And give them all my pennies in my little piggy bank
