[Chorus]
How'd ya like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island?
How'd ya like to spend the holiday away across the sea?
How'd ya like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island?
How'd ya like to hang a stocking on a great big coconut tree?

[Verse]
How'd ya like to stay up late like the islanders do?
Wait for Santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe
If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island
You will never stray, for every day
Your Christmas dreams come true

[Chorus]
How'd ya like to spend Christmas without a turkey on Christmas Island?
Where is the mistletoe?
How'd ya like to spend the holiday away across the sea?
(Maybe for you, but not for me)

[Verse]
How'd ya like to stay up late like the islanders do?
Wait for Santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe
If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island (If only, if only)
You will never stray, for every day
Your Christmas dreams come true
[Interlude]
What's the old boy gonna use for a chimney?

[Outro]
You will never ever stray, for every day
Your Christmas dreams come true ([?] sunburn)
True, true
