Tell Me What You Want For Christmas - Chris August

I'm so excited

To open the box

It's that time of year now

Ready or not

I slip on the red coat

I glue on the beard

I stuff in some pillows

And there's a line outside Sears

My full time gig is singing songs

But once a year I've got my side job

Come and sit on my lap

Tell me what you want for Christmas

If you were good and not bad

Tell me what you want for Christmas

A pogo stick a princess dress

A puppy dog or a Lego set

Before the camera goes Snap

Tell me what you want for Christmas

I know what you're thinking

St Nick is a fraud

He can't fit down that chimney

With that big belly he's got

And what about Rudolph

And his shiny red nose

And how do you explain all those elves

Making toys and clothes

You're never too old to believe

So write up your wishlist and just

Bring it to me

Come and sit on my lap

And tell me what you want for Christmas

Something you've never had

Tell me what you want for Christmas

A gift card to Golf Galaxy

Or maybe Anthropologie

Anything but cash

Tell me what you want for Christmas Christmas

And one time this kid said

That's not Santa it's Chris

I said Well Santa gets busy this time of year

And he asked me to do this

So come and sit on my lap

I'm doing Santa's business

What you think about that

Tell me what you want for Christmas

A saxophone a trampoline

That brand new Chris August CD

But you already have that

So tell me what you want for Christmas

I know what I want (What's that )

I want some Chick-Fil-A

I want a nice turtleneck sweater

And I want the Dallas Cowboys

To win the Superbowl

And that's all I need

(And this Thermos and that's all)

(That's what I want for Christmas)

Hey there goes Rudolph

Hey turn your nose on

Merry Christmas
