Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Be glad and jolly
And put some music on the stereo
I write a wish on the list
I bet there'll be a lot of gifts
And a lot of kissin' cause they're standing under mistletoe
Home with the family and the pet dog
We're drinking eggnog
And playing carols up the volume
Saint Nich'las in a fur suit
The beard is too cute
It's really Grampa in a costume
Can I take a break from baking cake
I'd like to try and stay awake
Because at midnight he comes sliding down the chimney
And he's got a sack upon his back
Cut him some slack and don't attack
Him grabbing for the toys and shouting Gimme gimme
How does he know it when you're sleeping or when you're awake?
Tryin hard to be good, all for goodness' sake
I'm the kind of guy who waits for a miracle
Joy to the world, peace on earth, lots of good will
I have a tendency to put the tinsel on the tree
I have a history of hanging up my socks
It's been ten days since you gave to me
Two turtle doves that are always singin off key
Nine days since the three french hens
You give even stranger presents than the wise men
Eight days since the calling birds
I don't want to complain, but this is getting absurd
Yesterday, heard the pipers play
Now I just wait to see what you'll send the last day
Clinkety clangle, the sleigh bells jingle
You hear the bells ring and you think Kris Kringle
Jolly old elf cause tis the season
Outside it's freezin
Well does he have to have a reason?
Like three wise men, he's bringing nice gifts
He's checking his list
Like Merry Gentlemen he's undismayed
Like Rudolph, Santa's got a red nose
He's wearing red clothes
And carries bags of presents on his sleigh
Gonna bet I get a pet or two
Gonna bring a thing to sing for you
Just having trouble finding room for all the birds here
Gonna hear a patter, then a clatter,
Cut the chatter, what's the matter?
Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year!
How does he know it when you're sleeping or when you're awake?
Tryin hard to be good, all for goodness' sake
I'm the kind of guy who waits for a miracle
Joy to the world, peace on earth and good will
I have a tendency to leave the presents by the tree
I have a history of getting new socks
It's been six days since you gave to me
Six geese a-laying eggs, why could that be?
Four days since the milking maids
And I'll just be sending them back to you, I'm afraid
Two days since the leaping lords
Before I was annoyed with you, but now I'm just bored
Yesterday heard the pipers play
Now I'm waiting to see what you send the last day.
Waiting to see what you send the last day.
Waiting to see what you send the last day.
(Maybe next year I'll try buying Amway.)
