Christmas Vacation
[Verse 1]
It's that time, Christmas time is here
Everybody knows there's not a better time of year
Hear that sleigh, Santa's on his way
Hip-hip-hooray, for Christmas vacation

[Chorus]
Got a ton of stuff to celebrate
(Jing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-ling)
Now it's getting closer I can't wait
(Jang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-lang)
Gonna make this holiday as perfect as can be
Just wait and see this Christmas vacation

[Verse 2]
This old house, sure is looking good
Got ourselves the finest snowman in the neighborhood
Ain't it fun? Always on the run
That's how it's done on Christmas vacation

[Chorus]
Let's all deck the halls and light the lights
(Jing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-ling)
Get a toasty fire burning bright
(Jang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-lang)
Give St. Nick the warmest welcome that he's ever had
We're so glad it's Christmas vacation
[Bridge]
And when the nights are peaceful and serene
We can cuddle up and do our Christmas dreaming
Jing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-ling
Jang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-lang
Ooh
Christmas vacation
Christmas vacation, Christmas vacation
Christmas vacation, Christmas vacation
Christmas vacation, Christmas vacation
We're so glad it's Christmas vacation

[Chorus]
Peace and joy and love are everywhere
(Jing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-ling)
You can feel the magic in the air
(Jang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-lang)
Let the spirit of the season carry us away
Hip-hip-hooray for Christmas vacation

[Outro]
Fa-la-la-la-la and a ho-ho-ho
(Jing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-ling)
Jingle, jangle, jingle as we go
(Jang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-lang)
Let the spirit of the season carry us away
