"What's the Use of Presents?" is song from the special Arthur's Perfect Christmas. It is sung by Muffy feeling empty at Christmas because she had a fight with Francine after she got upset with her for not coming to her Christmas party because she wanted to spend time with her family for Hanukkah.
Lyrics
Arthur (album only): 37 presents?
Wow, Muffy. This is probably your biggest Christmas ever.
But why do you look so unhappy? Did you and Francine have a fight?
Muffy: I got a clubhouse
I think it's the biggest in the world
I'd be the princess,
and Francine a serving girl
It'd be so neat,
and if she was sweet
I might even let her be queen,
but not this year 'cause I can't call Francine
Check out this toy train,
something Francine would love to use
Maybe she'ddrive it,
while I eat cake in the caboose.
I'd be warm in my stole,
while she shoveled coal
Till there was nothing
we hadn't seen
But not this year,
'cause I can't call Francine
Oh, these video games are just so lame,
when you only play the computer
And who will I take
to Swan Lake?
I guess I will
bring my tutor
Here is a puzzle
It's in 20,000 pieces
Maybe I'll finish it by the
time I have grandnieces
Oh! I got pretty dolls,
stuffed animals,
a miniature submarine
But what good are presents?
I find them so unpleasant
Who wants presents if I can't share them with...
Francine?
(2x) Francine
Oh!
