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' is I could be on a tropical beach.
Then a big snowflake got stuck in his eye
He took a tumble backward and he started to fly
Like a lump he landed in a pile o' powder
But he got right up, we couldn'ta been no prouder
Local TV said my Dad's quite a showman
Yep, that's my pop, Frosty the Snowman.

Now's the time we come together, folks of every creed
To raise the cup of life and watch a tree grow from a seed
Let's jingle up some bells and spin that dreidle til it's hot
And deck the hall with everything you got

Lemme hear ya say
We got a happy holiday, my baby
We got a happy holiday, my baby
And if Santa gets stuck in the flue
We'll have a St. Nick barbecue
We got a happy holiday, my baby

Listen to the bassman
We got a happy holiday and a happy new year.
Hey Hey!
