81
In a tiny apartment upon a tiny bed
82
Little tiny Della was counting in her head
83
Counting all the money she'd saved for months and months
84
Hoping that this one thing could work out just this once
85
But her hope shrank a bit near the end of the count
86
And her heart sank a bit at the final amount

[ALL]
One dollar and 87 cents

[DELLA]
So that's it
All I've got
A dollar and 87 cents
So much less than I thought
How's that for my financial sense

Each time I count it the amount's the same
Each time I count it it's a mounting shame
Each time I count it it's a losing game
I guess losing is my middle name
Any other day I would say whatever
Wе usually could make our own way together
And wе've had a lot of money literally never
Still we're doing okay

[DELLA/JIM]
If it were any other day
But it's
It's Christmas Eve
There he is
Christmas Eve
All I got
Our first Christmas Eve ever

He's the best part of my life
I can't believe
And no gift
This Christmas Eve
Can be bought
You're more beautiful than ever
How's that for being a loving wife

Good morning Della, did you sleep alright?
Not really, I was kind of up all night
What's wrong my darling, are you sick
Not quite, I was probably just excited for tonight
Wish I could stay but I gotta work
It's okay Jim
I can't be late, my boss is a jerk
It's really okay Jim
Seriously he'd go like berserk
And I hate him, so we're doing all right
Well then, I'll see you tonight for Christmas Eve

There it is
Christmas Eve
All I've got
The best Christmas Eve ever

[DELLA, BRED, GRUELLE and SPEKTR]
A dollar and 87 cents

[DELLA/JIM]
I hate to leave
And no gift
On Christmas Eve
Can be bought
But we'll soon be back together

[DELLA, BRED, GRUELLE and SPEKTR]
With a dollar and 87 cents
[DELLA/JIM/BRED, GRUELLE and SPEKTR]
Christmas Eve
It's not about the money
It's all about the money
Christmas Eve
It's the things that money can buy
A dollar and 87 cents
Christmas Eve
But everything costs money
Everything is money
Christmas Eve
Like a gift for a really great guy
A dollar and 87 cents
Christmas Eve
But what can you buy
What can you buy
What can you buy
Della goodbye

[DELLA, BRED, GRUELLE and SPEKTR]
With one dollar and 87 cents
