All I Want For Christmas
The Nat King Cole Trio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All I want for Christmas
Is my two front teeth
My two front teeth
My two front teeth

Gee, if I could only have
My two front teeth
Then I could wish you Merry Christmas

It seems so long
Since I could say
"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle"
Gosh, oh gee
How happy I'd be if I could only whistle

All I want for Christmas
Is my two front teeth
My two front teeth
My two front teeth

Gee, if I could only have
My two front teeth
Then I could wish you Merry Christmas

All I want for Christmas
Is my two front teeth
Two front teeth
Two front teeth

Gee, if I could only have
My two front teeth
Then I could wish you Merry Christmas

It seems so long
Since I could say
"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle"
Gosh, oh gee
How happy I'd be if I could only whistle

All I want for Christmas
Is my two front teeth
Two front teeth
Two front teeth

Gee, if I could only have
My two front teeth
Then I could wish you Merry Christmas

It seems so long
Since I could say
"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle"
Gosh, oh gee
How happy I'd be if I could only whistle

So all I want for Christmas
Is my two front teeth
Two front teeth
My two front teeth

Gee, if I could only have
My two front teeth
Then I could wish you Merry Christmas (Christmas)
