I Want a Miniature Hereford for Christmas

I want a Miniature Hereford for Christmas
Only a Miniature Hereford will do
Don't want an Angus, no Scottish Highlander
I want a Mini Hereford to play with and enjoy

I want a Miniature Hereford for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to walk through our dirty mud room
Just bring him through the barn door
That's the easy thing to do

I can see me now on Christmas morning
Creeping out to the barn
Oh what joy and what surprise
When I go out to do my chores
To see a Mini Hereford standing there

I want a Miniature Hereford for Christmas
Only a Miniature Hereford will do
No Aberdene, no Chianina
I only like Miniature Herefords
And Miniature Herefords like me too

Mom says the Mini Hereford would eat me up, but then
Farmer Dan says a Mini Hereford only eats Formula of Champions
There's lots of room for him in our four-stall barn
I'd feed him there and wash him there and brush his furry coat

I can see me now on Christmas morning
Creeping out to the barn
Oh what joy and what surprise
When I open that barn door
To see a Mini Hereford standing there

I want a Miniature Hereford for Christmas
Only a Miniature Hereford will do
No Shorthorn or full-sized Herefords
I only like Miniature Herefords
And Miniature Herefords like me too
