Presents for Christmas
Oh, this is gonna be a groove for me
It's gonna be a little something different but
We gonna give it to 'em anyway
Are you ready? Come on!
We wanna give out a present
To everybody this Christmas
All around the world
For every man, woman, boy and girl
Are you ready right now?
Come on, here we go
Oh, I like it like that, come on
That's it, alright, come on
Christmas presents around the world
Something mighty sweet to see
If only, if I just had a present for everyone
Under one great big Christmas tree
For every boy that wants a brand-new toy
For every Johnny that wants a car
For every Junior that wants a mobile bike
That rides, and rides, and rides
Now my little daughter
She wants a doll that cries
One that walks, and wipes its eyes
And I see there's someone
That wants somebody home
Just to lean her head in their arms
What a Christmas present, this Christmas
Oh, what a gift you could be
You know, if I could just give out
Christmas presents to everyone
Under one great big Christmas tree
You know I'm even fat enough to be
The world's biggest Santa Claus
And everybody can just, just stand around
And just say, ooh, is that for me?
Come on, a Christmas present
For everybody this year
We wanna give it to 'em
Are you ready?
Come on everybody, come on
One more time together
Merry Christmas, baby
A present for you, this Christmas
Directly from me
For all the Disc Jockeys around the world
Merry Christmas
All the policemen and all the pretty girls
Oh, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
That's from my old friend
And that was so great
Christmas present, baby
Here we go
Come on, let me hear you
Come on
Alright, now listen to me
Somewhere, in this big wide world
There's somewhere, a girl and boy
Who's wishing for a great big Christmas
Maybe one, two or three toys
But sadly enough
Believe me, as it seems
They won't get these things, we know
But the best we can do
Is wish a merry Christmas to you
And hope next year, things will have lot of joy
Christmas wishes for everyone
Oh, what a gift it can be
It's gonna be a little something different but
We gonna give it to 'em anyway
Are you ready? Come on!
We wanna give out a present
To everybody this Christmas
All around the world
For every man, woman, boy and girl
Are you ready right now?
Come on, here we go
Oh, I like it like that, come on
That's it, alright, come on
Christmas presents around the world
