Lyrics
Hello, hi, merry Christmas sweetenin'
Where are you?
Oh, I'm cookin', the bells ringin'
People are runnin' back and forth
Comin' in and out
The kids are here, you know
Oh, cookin' everything, okay
Oh, my food is burnin', I'll call you back
Hey yeah baby, yeah
Yeah, darlin', darlin', darlin', baby
Hang all the mistletoe
I'm going to get to know you better this Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it's going to be together this Christmas
The fireside is blazing bright
And we're caroling through the night
And this Christmas
Will be a, a very special Christmas for me, yeah, yeah
Alright, Eddie, my son
Sing it, Eddie
Presents and cards are here
My world is filled with cheer and you, this Christmas
And as I look around
Your eyes outshine the town, they do, this Christmas
The fireside is blazing bright
So we're caroling through the night
Eddie, you mustn't upstage your mama with those kinds of notes
Shake a hand, shake a hand, meet a friend, be a friend, y'all
This Christmas
The fireside is blazing bright
And we're caroling through the night
And this Christmas
Will be a very, very special Christmas for me, yeah, yeah
This is what we are got to do again
For me this Christmas, this Christmas
You'll be sitting somewhere, and you've got the blues
Think about the man who ain't got no shoes, yeah, yeah
Hang on, hold on until Christmas
Higher, higher, hang on, hold on to Christmas
Hang on, hold on until Christmas
Yeah, hold on to your faith, until Christmas and after, oh, and after yeah, yeah
This Christmas, this Christmas, this Christmas
Well, well, well, well, well, well
Hold on, hold on, hold on until Christmas
You got to hold on
Merry Christmas ma
And when are the greens gonna be ready?
Merry Christmas Eddie
The greens are almost ready
Everything is on the stove but don't look for no chitlins this year
Them chitlins almost killed me last year
