Lucas collected money
In his special moneybox
A moneybox specially for the poor
And left the box for Santa
To take up when he called
And give to some poor person
As he went from door to door
And Lucas got his presents
When he woke on Christmas morn
Noah too a dinosaur to play
And they learn the art of giving
As well as to receive
From the man who came to call on them
This happy Christmas day
It isn’t very hard to do
To share the things you have
And happier than selfishness
That leads our hearts to grab
We come into this world in need
We leave it the same way
Beware the lonely power of greed
Let us give ourselves away
