Lyrics

VERSE 1
Mmm mmm I've been hummin' hummin'
All day hummin' mmm mmm somethin'
Time seems to go double slow
That's the way it seems to go this time of year
'Tis the season to be jolly
Stoke the fire and string the holly
That's what's on my mind all day
Just can't wait to get away and see you dear
'Cause Christmas time is here
Break out that Christmas cheer
CHORUS
'Cause Santa's got a little somethin' somethin'
To give his little sugar dumplin' dumplin'
Underneath the mistletoe
Take off his coat brush off the snow
It's cold outside he's hot to go
Merry Christmas Santa's home
VERSE 2
Jingle bells are ringin' ringin'
I can't help it singin' singin'
People stare and say I'm weird
Bright red suit and snow white beard can't be far behind
Snowflakes fallin' in the cider
Young man snuggles up beside her
Lovers skating by the stands
In their mittens holding hands
And I'm holdin' on yes I'm holdin' on
'Til I'm in your arms
CHORUS
'Cause Santa's got a little somethin' somethin'
To give his little sugar dumplin' dumplin'
Underneath the mistletoe
Take off his coat brush off the snow
It's cold outside he's hot to go
Merry Christmas Santa's home
BRIDGE
When the children are tucked in their bed
That's the time for me and you
Visions of sugar plums dance in your head
Santa's got a present for you
VERSE 1
Mmm mmm I've been hummin' hummin'
All day hummin' mmm mmm somethin'
Time seems to go double slow
That's the way it seems to go this time of year
'Cause Christmas time is here
CHORUS
And Santa's got a little somethin' somethin'
To give his little sugar dumplin' dumplin'
Underneath the mistletoe
Take off his coat brush off the snow
It's cold outside he's hot to go
Merry Christmas Santa's home
It's cold outside he's hot to go
Merry Christmas Santa's home
Uh huh babe I'm comin'
For some sugar plummin'
Yeah Santa's home
Mercy mercy
