The Christmas List (1960) - Peggy Lee

Let me see, I’ll make a list

Of the presents I have missed

Uncle Joe and Danny too

Oh and you

Wonder what I’ll get for you

It must be very special too

And the moon’s too big, you see

To hang it on the Christmas tree

Oh, we have so much to do

Christmas shopping, wrapping too

And we’ll have a lovely tree

Wait and see

It will shine and glow with light

All gayly colored, what a sight

And we must have mistletoe

Must have a Christmas kiss, you know

Do you have candy?

Mmhm

And cookies too?

Mmhm

And nuts to crack?

Mmhm

You got gum to chew?

Yes

Will you leave something for the reindeer?

Mmhm

And something for Santa Claus too?

Oh yes

Guess you’ve done it all up right

Well no, not quite

Do you know a girl or boy

Who’s without a Christmas toy

We could make their Christmas bright

Yes, that’s right

Watch their faces, they will glow

It’s really Christmas then, you’ll know

If you give them love, you’ll see

You’ll dance around your Christmas tree

We’ll dance around the Christmas tree
