[N] [F] [Bb]
[Eb] Oh, this is going to be a groove for me.
[Bb] It's [Db] going to be a little something different, [Fm] but we're going to give it to them anyway.
Are you ready?
[Bb] Come on.
We want to give out a present to everybody this [Eb] Christmas, all around the world, for
every [Bbm] man, woman, boy and girl.
Are you ready right [Bb] now?

For every Junior that wants a movie.
[C]
[F] Now my [Bb] little daughter, she wants [D] a dog that can rise.
[Eb] One that walks and wipes its [Ebm] eyes.
[Db] And [Bb] I see there's someone [Bbm] that wants somebody home [C] just to maybe [Bb] have their arms.
What a Christmas
[Bbm] present.
[Bb] Christmas.
[Eb] Oh, what a gift you could be.
[Bb] You know, if I could just give out Christmas presents to everyone under [C] one great big Christmas [F] tree.
You know, I'm even fat enough to be [Bb] the world's biggest Santa Claus.
And [D] everybody could just [Eb] stand around and just say, who would that be me?
[Ab] Come on.
[Bb] A Christmas present for everybody this year.

Somewhere in this big wide world, [Eb] there's some girl and [Bb] boy who's wishing for a great big Christmas.
Maybe [C] one, two, [F] three toys.
But [Gm] sadly enough, [Bb]
believe [D] me as it seems, they [Eb] won't get these things, we know.
But the best that [Bb] we can do is wish a Merry Christmas to [Gm] you.
