Xmas Island

(alex anderson)
Mele kalikimaka is the thing to say on a bright hawaiian christmas day
That's the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway
Here we know that christmas will be green and bright
The sun will shine by day and all the stars aty night
Mele kalikimaka is hawaii's way to say merry christmas to you

(take it girls)
Mele kalikimaka is the thing to say on a bright hawaiian christmas day

From the land where palm trees sway

Here we know that christmas will be green and bright
The sun will shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele kalikimaka is hawaii's way to say merry christmas to you

(chorus)
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to run in a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh what fun on jah's cool run in a one horse open sleigh

We're dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
And o'er the fields we go
A laughing all the way
The bells on bob-tail ring
They're making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight

Chorus:

A day or two ago
I thought i'd make a run
To port antonio
I be cruisin' in the sun
The radio was loud
The chicken jerked and fried
And all i had to do that day was drive on the left side

Chorus:

(traditional - arranged by jimmy buffett & michael utley)
(dude, share that wave with me)

Up on the housetop
Reindeer paws
Down comes good ole santa claus
Down through the chimney with lots of toys
All for the little ones christmas joys

Ho ho ho who wouldn't go
Ho ho ho who wouldn't go
Up on the housetop click click click
Down through the chimney with good st. nick

Next comes the stocking of little bill
Could you see what a glorious fill.
Here is a hammer and lots of tacks
Also a ball and a whip that cracks

Ho ho ho who wouldn't go
Ho ho ho who wouldn't go
Up on the housetop click click click
Down through the chimney with good st. nick

(c'mon dude share the wave, it's christmas
Celebratory celebratory)

Instrumental

Ho ho ho who wouldn't go

Down through the chimney with good st. nick

(so they say it's your birthday
It's my birthday too.
Yea i got you a present)

(jimmy buffett & matt betton)
Merry christmas, alabama
Merry christmas, tennessee
Merry christmas, louisiana
To st. barths and the florida keys

Merry christmas, mississippi
Where i started this wild and crazy run
Such a long way from that first birthday
Merry christmas, everyone

And merry christmas, colorado
Though far from you all i have roamed
'tis the season to remember
All the faces,
And the places that were home

'tis the season to remember
And to count up all the ports of call i've known
And to thank his mercies tender
For i'm never far from home

(instrumental)

Merry christmas to my saints and guardian angels
Who protect me as i roam
'tis the season to remember
All the faces
And the places that were home

Guess my life's moved at near light speed
Since i started this wild and crazy run
Such a long way from that first birthday
Merry christmas, everyone

'tis the season to remember
No we're never far from home
Merry christmas, everyone.

(john lennon, yoko ono)
And so this is christmas and what have you done
Another year over; a new one just begun
And so this is christmas, i hope you have fun
The near and the dear one, the old and the young
A merry merry christmas and a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one without any fear

So this is christmas, for weak and for strong
The rich and the poor one, the road is so long
So happy christmas for black and for white
The yellow and red one, and stop all the fight
A merry merry christmas and a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one without any fear

So this is christmas and what have we done
Another year over, a new one just begun
So happy christmas, i hope you have fun
The near and the dear one, the old and the young
A merry merry christmas and a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one without any fear

So this is christmas and what have you done

The near and the dear one, the old and the young
