Are you ready gentlemen? (Yeah) When the snowman brings the snow Well he just might like to know He's put a great big smile on somebody's face If you jump into your bed Quickly cover up your head Don't you lock the doors You know that sweet Santa Clause is on the way Oh well I wish it could be Christmas everyday When the kids start singing and the band begins to play Oh I wish it could be Christmas everyday Let the bells ring out for Christmas When we're skating in the park If the snow cloud makes it dark Then your rosy cheeks are gonna light my merry way Now the frosty paws appear And they've frozen up my ear So we'll lie by the fire Till the sleet simply knocks 'em all the way Well I wish it could be Christmas everyday When the kids start singing and the band begins to play Oh I wish it could be Christmas every day So let the bells ring out for Christmas When the snow man brings the snow (when the snowman brings the snow) Well he just might like to know (he just might like to know) He's put a great big smile on somebody's face So if Santa brings that sleigh (Santa brings that sleigh) All along the milky way (along the milky way) I'll sign my name on the rooftop in the snow Then he may decide to stay Well I wish it could be Christmas everyday When the kids start singing and the band begins to play Oh I wish it could be Christmas everyday So let the bells ring out for Christmas Under your arms, check it! Oh well I wish it could be Christmas everyday When the kids start singing and the band begins to play Oh I wish it could be Christmas everyday Let the bells ring out for Christmas Why don't you give your love for Christmas (When the snowman brings the snow) (When the snowman brings the snow) (When the snowman brings the snow) (When the snowman brings the snow) (When the snowman brings the snow) (When the snowman brings the snow)
