En el último mes del año
pongo siempre mi arbolito
rodeado de mil foquitos
y de bellos regalitos.
En el último mes del año
coloco figuras de barro en mi
nacimiento.
A San José, Virgen María y al niño
Jesús contento
rodeados de mil pastores llenos de
agradecimiento.
En el último mes del año
me uno a la posada y le hago compañía
a los pastores, a San José y la
Virgen María
que buscan un buen lugar para
llenarlo de alegría.
En el último mes del año
están mis grandes emociones,
regalos que Santa me da a montones,
fuegos artificiales, canciones y
diversiones.
