[ Featuring Janaya Mahealani Jones, James Tolbert ]
The Narrator:
Getting back to Della
Now roaming through the street
Still in her dilemma
But refusing to be beat
Searching for a something
And keeping fingers crossed
That she might find something
High-value but low cost
Something worthy of Jim
Something perfect for him
Della:
Something grand
Something great
Something he'll appreciate
Something like a gift checkmate
'Cos it's perfect
Something he can feel proud of
Something he can't help but love
Something that fits like a glove
'Cos it's
Bred, Spektr and Gruelle:
Perfect
The Narrator:
Della knew right away
This was it
Della:
A platinum watch chain
What a sight
The Narrator:
Right there in the display
A perfect fit
Della:
Simple and beautiful and right
The Narrator:
Jim had no chain just a leather strap
The Narrator and Della:
What an upgrade this would be from that
What a wonderful gift to give
Della:
Just made for Jim
I'm positive
For everything he's given me
This is what his gift should be
This make our Christmas eve
Bred, Spektr and Gruelle:
Twenty-one dollars and zero cents
Della:
Okay wow
That's a lot
Bred, Spektr and Gruelle:
Twenty-one dollars and zero cents
Della:
So much more
Than I thought
How's that for my financial sense
I know I shouldn't even be surprised
Writings been on the wall a thousand times
Watch chains like this are meant for other guys
Just go home Della at least you've tried
It's not about the money
It's the things that money can buy
And everything costs money
Like a gift for a really great guy
The Narrator:
Before she knew it she was out the door
Moving so fast she barely touched the floor
Swift and determined, down the street she tore
Until she stood in front of a hair cut store
Della:
Excuse me I don't mean to intrude
Hair Collector:
Yeah hi there
Della:
Do you buy hair I need money soon
Hair Collector:
I buy hair
Della:
I need to buy a gift for my dude
Hair Collector (Della) [Bred, Spektr and Gruelle] {THE NARRATOR}
Yeah and I care
I'll do twenty bucks cash
(Twenty bucks cash)
[Twenty bucks cash]
{Twenty bucks cash}
Della:
Okay just make it fast
