We got a happy holiday, my baby

We got a happy holiday, my baby

We're gonna spread a lot of cheer

Well, it's our favorite time of year

We got a happy holiday, my baby.



We got a happy holiday, my baby

We got a happy holiday, my baby

We got presents on the brain

And eggnog pumping through the veins

We got a happy holiday, my baby.



Every little thing I want I write in my own hand

On a crumbled list, lick that stamp and send it to the man,

And if it goes according to plan, on the 25th of December

I declare, "Best Christmas I can remember baby!"



We got a happy holiday, my baby

We got a happy holiday, my baby

My stockings will expand

They only take designer brands

We got a happy holiday, my baby.



In the department store, to the right of the down escalator

There he sat like a slug some overweight second-rater

Dime-store beard and hat, shiny boots, red suit

Could it be him? Santa look like Elvis Presley, no way!



We got a happy holiday, my baby

We got a happy holiday, my baby

Lotsa room under the tree

We'll have a Zombie Jamboree

We got a happy holiday, my baby



Here's our seasonal message:

I'm packed for the best vacation of the year

A week in the Caribbean, the beach frontier

On the way to the airport, the car breaks down

Daddy says, "This holiday we're sticking around.

Come on son, you can even help me string the lights!"

I'm feeling paler by the minute but I don't want to fight.



So it's snowing like an avalanche, we're up on the roof

Them reindeer better have deep treads on their hooves,

"Dagnamit, son, the darned cord don't reach!"

And all I'm thinkin'
