Lyrics
Merry Christmas now baby
Ain’t you glad to be back home
Merry Christmas now baby
Darlin aren’t you glad to be back home
Let’s spend Christmas together
We won’t even pick up the phone
Hang up your stocking
Santa Claus gon’ come to you
Santa Claus gon’ come to you
I got you a present darlin’
And we got nothin’ else to do
Oooooo Santa Claus comin round people
With those long bills hangin’ off his feet (x2)
I’m just waitin’ on my good man
He’s comin home on Christmas eve
Yes I’m waitin’ for my good man
To come home on Christmas eve
Won’t ya please hurry baby
Come home on Christmas eve
