lyrics
I can't get you a new coat, but I can keep you warm when it's cold outside
& I can't get you a pony, but I can sure as sugarplum give you a ride
& Even if you say that you Love me, that's no guarantee that you'll wake up with a diamond
& If I go and get you a puppy, you're only gonna rub his belly, not mine, hon
Oh, can we...
Start a fire & lively up the tree & shout...
Close the door, you're lettin' all the heat out
Leave your boots & worries outside
in the snow, in the snow, in the snow, in the snow & send
Props to Pops and kisses up to Grandma
S'Christmas time... Fa-lala-lala-la
Everybody knows that you don't need a reason,
Just gotta know a good time when you feel one
Fa-lala-lala, la, la...
I been saving my pennies & asking every day if that perfume is on sale
My good intentions were many, but any scam I hatched to get the cash would just fail
Or maybe I can take you away, I gotta get you something good my dear
Of course you say that it's ok, it's just that you've been so good all year... Especially to me
So can we...
Start a fire & lively up the tree & shout...
Close the door, you're lettin' all the heat out
Leave your boots & worries outside
in the snow, in the snow, in the snow, in the snow & send
Props to Pops and kisses up to Grandma
S'Christmas time... Fa-lala-lala-la
Everybody knows that you don't need a reason,
Just gotta know a good time when you feel one
Fa-lala-lala, la, la...
My friend Tracey
She goes crazy
Every first-snow-day she's
At the window going ding, dong, dang, dong...
Can we...
Start a fire & lively up the tree & shout...
Close the door, you're lettin' all the heat out
Leave your boots & worries outside
in the snow, in the snow, in the snow, in the snow & send
Props to Pops and kisses up to Grandma
S'Christmas time... Fa-lala-lala-la
Everybody knows that you don't need a reason,
Just gotta know a good time when you feel one
Fa-lala-lala, la, la...
