D                   G
I know what you're doing to me, boy
D                         G
You move so fast like a psychopathic color TV
D                    G
With your Christmas bag and your jolly face
D                  G
And the reindeer stomping all over the place

Take it easy, what you got to be so absurd?
You make it sound like Christmas is a
four-letter word
It's a fact of life whether you like it or not
So put your hands together and give it a shot

Chorus:
D#  A#           F          Gm
I hope that you take it to heart, boy
D#      A#                      F        Gm
It's Christmas time, ain't no clowning around
D#          A#            F            Gm
And if you think you got something to prove, boy
D#     A#       F         Gm
Santa Claus is coming to town

I don't care about family and shopping malls
Candy canes or the carolers decking the halls
I don't care about what you say, Santa Claus
You're a bad brother breaking into peoples' garages!

You got it wrong 'cause I'm just another regular guy
With superpowers and a penchant for the Yuletide
Is it a crime to give a little once in a while?
I travel 'round the world trying to make people
smile

Chorus

D       Am         F       G
C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S, C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S
F       G          F       G
C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S, C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S
Am      F          G      Dm
C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S, C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S
G       Am         G       C          D
C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S, C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S

D         A     C        G      A#      F
Christmastime, Christmastime, Christmastime
       C         D
We're having a good time
D         A     C        G     A#       F
Christmastime, Christmastime, Christmastime
C D
We're having a good time!
