Gift of the Magi

We were young and broke, but we didn’t care
You had your pocketwatch, I had my golden hair
We were just scraping by, waiting to make it big
I was an ingénue, you were just a kid
But it was Christmas eve, didn’t know what to do
How could I hope to buy some kind of gift for you
Ain’t got no trust fund hon, ain’t got no savings bond
Just got my student loans, the clothes that I’ve got on 

Singer-songwriter Ellia Bisker aka Sweet Soubrette accompanies herself on ukulele in this delightful musical version of O. Henry’s iconic short story, Gift of the Magi
