All I Want For Christmas
George Rock Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
Suddenly I heard a strange noise down below
So, in my flannel pajamas I went tippy-toe
I could see old Saint Nick from the spot where I stood
So I slid down the banister just as fast as I could

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth

My two front teeth, see, 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, Suzy sitting on a thistle
Every time I try to speak
Huh, all I do is 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

Good old Santa Claus and all his reindeer
Huh, they used to bring me lots of toys and candy
Gee, but, but now when I go out and call Dancer, Prancer, Donnner and Blitzen
None of 'em can understand me

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
My two front teeth, see my two front tee
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
So I can wish you merry Christmas
Christmas, Christmas

Aww, for goodness sakes
Happy New Year

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
It was the night before Christmas and everything in the house was quiet

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
No one and nothing in the house was moving, not even a mouse

Suddenly I heard a strange noise down below
I heard an unusual sound coming from downstairs

So, in my flannel pajamas I went tippy-toe
I quietly tip-toed down to the source of the strange noise wearing my flannel pajamas

I could see old Saint Nick from the spot where I stood
I was able to see Santa Claus from my vantage point

So I slid down the banister just as fast as I could
I quickly slid down the banister to get to Santa Claus

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
The only thing I want for Christmas is to have my two front teeth

My two front teeth, see, my two front teeth
I'm referring to my front teeth, which are missing

Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth
I wish I could have my front teeth, as they are important to me

Then I could wish you Merry Christmas
Having my front teeth would enable me to say 'Merry Christmas' properly

It seems so long since I could say
I haven't been able to say certain things for a long time now

Sister, Suzy sitting on a thistle
An example of a phrase I'm not able to say properly due to my missing front teeth

Every time I try to speak
Whenever I attempt to talk

Huh, all I do is whistle
I just end up whistling instead of speaking

Good old Santa Claus and all his reindeer
The traditional Santa Claus, along with his reindeer

Huh, they used to bring me lots of toys and candy
In the past, Santa Claus and his reindeer used to bring me a lot of toys and candy

Gee, but, but now when I go out and call Dancer, Prancer, Donnner and Blitzen
Nowadays, when I go outside and try to call the reindeer by name

None of 'em can understand me
The reindeer are unable to comprehend what I'm saying due to my whistling

So I can wish you merry Christmas
Having my two front teeth would allow me to properly wish everyone a Merry Christmas

Christmas, Christmas
Repeating the word 'Christmas'

Aww, for goodness sakes
An expression of surprise or exasperation

Happy New Year
Wishing everyone a happy new year
