Ho Ho Ho
Alvin & The Chipmunks Lyrics

Ho ho ho
Expressing the festive mood of Christmas with laughter and joy

And jingle jingle
Describing the sound of the Christmas bells ringing

Bells are ringing all around
Notifying people about the arrival of Santa Claus and the festive season

Snowflakes fall and lights adorn our Very merry tinsel town
The streets are decorated with lights and snowflakes, creating an enchanting environment

Santa sits us on his knee
Children sit on Santa's lap and share their wish lists

Christmas gifts lie patiently Beneath our decorated tree
Presents are placed under the Christmas tree, ready to be opened on Christmas morning

Fa ya la la ya la la la leee
Singing Christmas carols and spreading the festive mood

Merry Christmas!
Wishing everyone a joyful Christmas

Happy Hannukah!
Including the Jewish community in the festivities

It's that time To send a gift To those of us less fortunate
Encouraging people to donate gifts to the less fortunate during the festive season

Dave, if Christmas is so merry
Alvin questions why Dave appears to be unhappy despite the festive season

Why did you say, it makes you uptight?
Asking Dave why he would express negativity despite the joyful mood of Christmas

Uh, I never said that Alvin Yes you did
Dave denies expressing any negativity, but Alvin insists that he did

I don't need this from you, Theodore
Dave becomes frustrated with Theodore's interjection in their argument

You said you can't wait for it to be over and that
Alvin quotes Dave expressing negativity towards Christmas

Ho ho ho, Alvin, that's your line, ho ho ho
Dave reminds Alvin to stick to the song and stop arguing

Carolers sing merrily
People sing Christmas carols on the streets, spreading the festive mood

Presents promise happiness If only temporarily
Gifts bring joy and happiness, but it may be short-lived

Grandma sends a baby truck We are way to old for that But Dave tells us to suck it up Fa ya la la ya la la la yup!
Recalling a gift from grandma that is too childish but Dave insists they accept the gift and show gratitude

Like, cash Grandma, send us cash Alvin!
Alvin jokes about asking for cash instead of a childish gift

No more trucks grandma Yeah
Agreeing with Alvin's sentiment of not wanting a childish gift

Uh-shall we just stick to the lyrics I wrote, PLEASE!
Dave becomes frustrated with their constant arguing and asks them to focus on the lyrics

Aw- well you're in a bad mood anyway, and just be
Alvin continues to tease Dave about his supposed negativity

I am NOT IN A BAD MOOD!
Dave denies feeling upset despite Alvin's teasing

Dave, you always said to be honest with our feelings
Alvin reminds Dave of his own advice to be truthful about their feelings

So!
Dave dismisses their argument and insists he is not in a bad mood

Just admit your stressed
Alvin suggests that Dave may be feeling stressed despite his insistence otherwise

Ho ho ho And jingle jingle Cars are honking constantly Giving David headaches And increasing his anxiety
Describing the noise pollution caused by cars honking, creating discomfort and anxiety for Dave

Grown-ups seem to go berserk Why are parents so wigged-out When Santa Claus does all the work?
Children question why parents appear to be stressed out despite Santa Claus being the one doing all the work

Fa ya la la ya la la beserk!
Singing Christmas carols and making light of the situation

Uh-okay hold it right there guys This is not what I wrote and I never said to suck it up!
Dave becomes frustrated with their antics and insists that they stick to the original lyrics

Suck it up fellas, just quit your whining and suck it up That's what you said, Dave
Alvin continues to tease Dave about his supposed negativity towards Christmas, quoting his earlier words

Uh- can we just stick to the song!
Dave becomes increasingly exasperated with their constant arguments and requests that they focus on the song

We're just trying to express our feelings And just because we want iPods and cash, AND YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
Alvin and his brothers express their desire for expensive gifts, and suggest that Dave does not understand their point of view

Oh just suck it up, Alvin Ha ha gotcha! Alvin!
Dave finally loses his patience and teases Alvin back

You are so busted! Alvin! Oh just admit that- Dave: ALVIN!
Dave resumes his authority and shuts down their argument with a stern reprimand to Alvin

Ooh yeah Oh Oh yeah yeah Ooh yeah Oh
The song ends with a musical interlude, continuing the joyful mood of Christmas
