5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

The little fella 

first gained popularity 

in the 

Midwestern region 

of the U.S. 

made from 

"Red Heel" socks 

It was the sock that America wore 

to work 

compliments of Rockford, Illinois 

A symbol of working class families 

just tryin' 

to make a livin' 

just tryin' to make ends meet 

didn't need no shiny doll 

didn't need Barbie's disco gear 

just want to hold my sock monkey 

just wanted to hold my sock monkey 

'til my daddy comes 

Daddy wore those red heeled socks 

every day when he went to work 

Photos 

I'm want to hold my sock monkey 

'til Daddy comes through that door 

and opens up his arms 

to envelope me 

sock monkey 

can fly ! 

can slew dragons ! 

can out shoot'em ! 

and out dance'em ! 

sock monkey 

makes everything all right 

sock monkey 

takes care of me 

ruby red lips 

long, black eyelashes 

loving smile 

true heart 

just want to hold my sock monkey 

'til Daddy comes through that door 

gonna hold my sock monkey 

'til Daddy comes through that door 

Just a working class girl 

who can't afford a shiny doll 

but i'm just as happy 

holding my sock monkey 

'til Daddy comes through that door 

'cause he gets me through the night 

'cause he makes everything all right
