Old 97's
Gotta Love Being a Kid (Merry Christmas)
[Verse 1]
I'm so happy I can see
All the present by the tree
You can ask my family
I know that they all agree

[Verse 2]
Wrapping paper, big ole bows
Hope I don't get not clothes
I'll wake up at Six a.m
Just so I can open them

[Chorus]
Merry Christmas
You gotta love being a kid
Merry Christmas
You gotta love being a kid

[Verse 3]
Parents hid them but I spied
Found the boxes, looked inside
Dad put on a Santa hat
I am way too old for that

[Chorus]
Merry Christmas
You gotta love being a kid
Merry Christmas
You gotta love being a kid
Oh, yeah
[Bridge]
Smiling faces all around
All them snowflakes coming down
Fireplace is nice and warm
No one cares about the storm

[Verse 4]
I'm so happy I can be
Here with my whole family
Everyone's around the tree
And half these presents are for me

[Chorus]
Merry Christmas
You gotta love being a kid
Merry Christmas
You gotta love being a kid
Merry Christmas
You gotta love being a kid
Merry Christmas
You gotta love being–
You gotta love being–
You gotta love being a kid
