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 Christmas tags;
That's what I want for Christmas.
When I wake up Christmas Day,
I would like to find a sleigh;
But if I don't, dear Santa Claus,
I will not complain because
What I really want is this;
Sister's smile and brother's kiss.
Fill our land with peace and bliss
From Maine down to the Isthmus;
That's what I want for Christmas.
I don't want electric trains,
Twenty dollar aeroplanes.
Free our friends of aches and pains;
That's what I want for Christmas.
I like boots with tops of blue
Like my little sisters do;
So, if you leave them, leave a few;
That's what I want for Christmas.
When the reindeer pass my house,
I'll be quiet as a mouse.
But, when I wake up, let me see
Marching round the Christmas tree
Animals that never bite,
Soldier boys who never fight;
That's what I want for Christmas.
Yes, that's what I want for Christmas.
