Santa comin’, year went so fast
Drummer drummin’, carols at last!
I put up lights, decorated the tree
Asked for a toy, and a bike just for me
Countin’ days till he comes on his sleigh
Stayin’ up on a Christmas night
Oh santa santa santa santa uh
Tell me more, tell me more
Do you want a toy car?
Tell me more, tell me more
Did you fill the cookie jar?
I’ll be happy, when he empties his sack
Can’t wait to see, what gifts I’ll unwrap
Presents scattered, across the ground
It’s always nice, when he comes around
Christmas fun and the joy has begun
Countin’ down to a Christmas night
oh santa santa santa santa uh
Tell me more, tell me more
Were ya naughty or nice?
Tell me more, tell me more
Will good behaviour suffice?
Trusty Rudolph, leading the sleigh
Bring my presents, all of this way
Safely landing, on my rooftop
Down the chimney, about 1 o’clock
Wonderin’, ‘What will he bring?’
That’s the fun of uh Christmas night
Ho ho ho
Tell me more, tell me more
What about Mum and Dad
Tell me more, tell me more
Have they been good or bad?
In a frenzy, it’s finally here
Leave out cookies, some milk and some beer
Turn the lights on, to set the scene/A quick shower to make myself clean
Brush my teeth, and use the latrine
Christmas eve, would you believe?
Tucked in bed on uh Christmas night
Ho ho ho
Tell me more, tell me more
Was it all worth the wait?
Tell me more, tell me more
Will the excitement abate?
Christmas over, and that’s where it ends
So we say well, ‘til next year then…
Take down the tree, and pack it up now
No more lights, or tinsel are allowed
Christmas dreams, ended it seems
Pack, up, those Christmas Lights
(Take the wreath off the door)

I could stay awake, just to hear you sneakin’
Down the chimney while I’m sleepin’
Wondering what gifts you’re bringin’
I turn out my light, thinking of the splendour
Of the most wonderful moment, in December
Hope my wishes all come true when unwrapping my treasure
I don’t want to close my eyes,
I don’t want to fall asleep
Cos It’s Christmas eve,
And I know Santa’s visiting
I hope he’ll make my dreams come true,
But sleeping I just cannot do
Cos It’s Christmas eve,
And I know Santa’s visiting
Lying in my room, feeling my heart beating
It’s no wonder that I’m beaming
Wondering what gifts I’m receiving
Listen to the skies, to hear bells through the weather
Rudolph leads the sleigh that flew in this yearly endeavor
Forever and ever
I don’t want to close my eyes,
I don’t want to fall asleep
Cos It’s Christmas eve,
And I know Santa’s visiting
If you can sleep the whole night through,
Wake up to what he has left you,
This is Christmas baby,
And I hope he didn’t miss a thing
I’ve got a Christmas list worthwhile
Complete with all the latest gifts
And I just want to see that you,
Make my dreams come true, on the 25th
I didn’t even ask for clothes
No Santa, you're no friend of mine!
I hope you wallow in atonement
Until next Christmas time
Merr! Merr! Merr! Merr! Merry Christmas!
I want to close my eyes,
I want to fall asleep
Cos it’s Christmas day,
And I didn’t get my list of things
I thought I made it clear to you
That boring gifts will never do
This is Christmas Day
And I told you what you should bring
I’m not the type of kid to cry
But these gifts will make me weep
This is Christmas Day,
And it seems you weren’t listening
You could have made my dreams come true!
These tears are now, all on you
This is Christmas Day,
And sadness is all you bring!
You’ve got a year to rectify
And make my list alllllll complete
Next year bring me everything!

You’ve got a Christmas tree
You’ve got a Christmas tree
Plastic snow and, gingerbread
And your piles and piles
Of your tinsel red
It’s late December, think you’re well prepared
Boy, you’ve got a Christmas tree
But there’s something you’re yet to see
And now it’s Christmas eve
Presents under the tree
You’re in trouble, you missed a few
There isn’t anything wrapped for your two nephews
You wonder whether you forgot your wife too
‘Cause you’ve got a Christmas tree
But you forgot to get the prezzies
Some other blokes might be
A little bit smarter than I am
And much more organised too
Maybe
But none of them will ever shove you
Out the way if you, grab the last brand new, toy
Shopping on Christmas night
I could get into a fight
You might see me commit a felony
I think you will agree
Violence is necessary
To put gifts under our tree

My Christmas Will Go On
04:47

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you, will come
Far across the distance
The North Pole between us
Through the cold and snow you go on
Rein-deer, are, guided by the stars
As they lead through the dark night, til dawn
Once more, like Christmas of yore
Bringing cheer in the children
Their hearts filled, by Christmas songs
Past the children’s bedtime
Down chimneys, you will climb
That is when you’ll get your work done
Under mistletoe you,
Kissed mummy, is it true?
Could Santa be my daddy? How fun!
Siberia, across all China
To the sea then on down to Hong Kong (stop for some reindeer food)
Taiwan, Timor, via Singapore
Brings you here to my house in,
Suburban, Melbourne
You’re here, best time of the year
But I know that you couldn’t stay long
A-way, once more in your sleigh
Not a trace left but presents
And we know, you’ve been and gone
