You got me standing underneath your window
While you’re deliberating on your fate
And you would really like to let me in though
But your fiance doesn’t know your date
Well, if you thinkin’ life could be much sweeter
Baby, doncha, doncha, doncha hesitate
Baby, doncha, doncha, doncha hesitate
Well, nickel is a nickel, I said, dime is a dime
I need a new gal, she won’t mind
Tell me how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, I said, must I hesitate?
Santa bring, on your sleigh, just for me this holiday
The one I want and make my dreams come true
I’ll be good every day, I’ll put some love on layaway
And spend it all this Christmas on you
Oh-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lay
Gonna put some love on layaway for you
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lay
Gonna spend it all this Christmas on you
ou’re here where you should be
Snow is falling as the carolers sing
It just wasn’t the same
Alone on Christmas day
Presents, what a beautiful sight
Don’t mean a thing if you ain’t holding me tight
You’re all that I need
Underneath the tree
The Christmas tree is still in the attic
Bing Crosby is singing, but I can’t hear
The neighbors upstairs have been at it
For hours; I grab another beer
'Cause I’m drinking alone on Christmas
Drinking alone on Christmas
It’s my own celebration of alienation
I’m drinking alone on Christmas
Again…
Again…
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
Don’t want a doll, no dinky Tinkertoy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don’t think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won’t have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door, that’s the easy thing to do
Oh, Minnie and Santa
Minnie and Santa
What they’re up to, only heaven knows
She wrote on a card
“Don’t take it so hard, we’re headed for the North Pole”
Yes, heaven, I’m in heaven
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler’s lucky streak
When we’re out together dancing cheek to cheek
Forget about the blues tonight, sweet thing
Forget about the rules tonight, sweet thing
I wanna dance with you
Until the sun comes creepin’ through
I wanna dance with you
I won’t stop pleasin’ you
Hey, everybody, come along if you can
We’re gonna take a ride uptown
And listen to the guitar man
Then we’re gonna dance, yeah dance,
C’mon dance
Dance with the guitar man, here he comes now
Well, you don’t know what we can find
Why don’t you come with me, little girl
On a magic carpet ride?
You don’t know what we can see
Why don’t you tell your dreams to me?
Fantasy will set you free
To your razzle-dazzle.
You’ve got me flyin’ high and wide, on a magic carpet ride;
Full of butterflies inside.
Wanna cry, wanna croon, wanna laugh like a loon.
It’s that old devil moon in your eyes.
I wanna see Christmas through your eyes
I want everything to be the way it used to be
Back to being a child again thinking the world was mine
I wanna see Christmas, Christmas through your eyes
