Make my mommy's life a song

Keep my daddy safe and strong

Let me have them all year long

That's what I want for Christmas

Let my dolls be made of rags

Fireman hats of paper bags

Just write love on the greeting tag

That's what I want for Christmas

Its a happy holiday

Every heart is light 'n gay

For Santa Claus you're kind I'm sure

To young and all the rich and poor

Won't you please for goodness sake

Do away with tummy ache

Give out lots of lucky breaks

That's what I want for Christmas

Yes, that's what I want for Christmas

I don't want electric trains

Twenty-dollar aeroplanes

Free our friends from aches and pains

That's what I want for Christmas

I like pretty shoes to wear

But if I could give a pair

To poor little children everywhere

That's what I want for Christmas

When the Reindeer pass my house

I was quiet as a mouse

But in my dreams I seem to see

Marching round the Christmas tree

Animals that never bite

Never giving any fright

Soldier boys who never fight

That's what I want for Christmas

Yes, that's what I want for Christmas
