"Christmas Day" lyrics

I've been waiting for the holidays
I've been waiting for the Christmas plays
Running around in the snow downtown
Thinking 'bout Christmas Day (oh)
I've been been waiting for those bells to ring
I've been ready for the "jingle-jing"
Singing the classics with the great Burl Ives
Dreaming 'bout the pumpkin pies (oh)

Oh my, my, wait and see
All the presents underneath the tree
It's time to celebrate
It's Christmas day!

See, I've been waiting for the holidays
I've been waiting for the candy canes
Fill up the stocking by the fireside
With lots of toys and games (oh)
I will listen to the choirs sing
Of Santa Claus and nativity scenes
Memories of a better time in our lives
The joy of some snow and ice (oh)

Oh my, my, wait and see
All the presents underneath the tree
It's time to celebrate
It's Christmas day!
(Oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh)

I close my eyes, it's nearly here
Sleigh bells echo in the air
I can hardly stay in my bed
I've never said this before
But I can hardly sleep no more
What else can I say?
It's Christmas day! (Yeah, yeah-ah-ah)
It's Christmas day! (Yeah, yeah-ah-ah, yeah-ah)
