(Spoken)
It's almost Christmas time, everybody
And I can't wait
G
I left the lights up all year ‘round
Em
I just couldn’t bear the thought of takin’ ‘em down
C
I’ve been singing “Jingle Bell Rock” since July
D
All the neighbors look at me like
I’m crazy but I
G
I, got a feeling that I just can’t shake
Em
You see it’s lasted three hundred sixty four days
C
And now I’m too excited, I can’t sleep a wink and
D
I stare at the snow outside my window just thinkin’
CHORUS:
G
Come on, Christmas
Em
I don’t know why you’re taking so long, Christmas
C
Well, I’ve been waiting all year for you to get here
D
And I can’t take another second, can’t you hear me beggin’
G
Hurry up, Santa Claus
Em
Here’s my number just in case your reindeer get lost
C
I sure wouldn’t mind, if you’re early this time
D
So, come on, come on, come on, Christmas
Come on, Christmas
G
Well, there’s just something about this time of year
Em
You can feel the excitement in the air
C
Everyone’s hangin’ with family and friends
D
And it’s making you feel like a kid once again
G
Steal a kiss under the mistletoe
Em
While old Bing sings, “Let It Snow, Let It Snow”
C
The only thing that’s left on my Christmas list is
D
I’m hopin’ to catch a peek of old’ St. Nick
CHORUS:
G
Come on, Christmas
Em
I don’t know why you’re taking so long, Christmas
C
Well, I’ve been waiting all year for you to get here
D
And I can’t take another second, can’t you hear me beggin’
G
Hurry up, Santa Claus
Em
Here’s my number just in case your reindeer get lost
C
I sure wouldn’t mind, if you’re early this time
D
So, come on, come on, come on, Christmas
Come on, Christmas
G
Hearts are racing all around the world
Em
Smiling faces on the boys and girls
C
Waiting just to hear those sleigh bells ring
D
Singing, come on, Christmas do your thing
CHORUS:
G
Come on, Christmas
Em
I don’t know why you’re taking so long, Christmas
C
Well, I’ve been waiting all year for you to get here
D
And I can’t take another second, can’t you hear me beggin’
