It's the Thought That Counts is a song from the 1991 Sooty Show episode, A Summertime Christmas.
Lyrics
You can buy me a watch or a diamond ring
If you don't have to think then it won't mean a thing
It's the thought that counts
Not the amount
I'm talking to you and it's perfectly true
You can buy me a car or the Albert Hall
If you don't have to think, it means nothing at all
It's the thought that counts
Not the amount
I'm talking to you and it's perfectly true
Give me a present you've thought hard about
Something that's taken some time
It's funny but money doesn't mean a lot
Cheap and cheerful is fine!
Give me something small, it doesn't matter at all
Something really cheap, something nice to keep
It's the thought that counts
Not the amount
I'm talking to you and it's perfectly true
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
It's the thought that counts
Not the amount
I'm talking to you and it's perfectly true everytime
