The Hat I Got For Christmas Is Too Beeg
Mel Blanc Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The hat I got for Christmas is too beeg
It's nice, but my sombrero is too beeg
Is it raining, is it snowing, I can't see where I am going
'Cause the hat I got for Christmas is too beeg

But ring the bells and beat the drum
Ring the bells and beat the drum
I'll ring the bells to be polite
But if I see that Santy Claus, I going to start a fight

The hat I got for Christmas is too beeg
Oh, it's nice, but my sombrero is too beeg
If you wonder why I shiver, I fell three times in the river
'Cause the hat I got for Christmas is too beeg

But ring the bells and beat the drum
Ring the bells and beat the drum
I'll ring the bells, but I feel sick
'Cause Mr. Santy Claus you played on me a dirty trick

The hat I got for Christmas is too beeg
It's nice, but my sombrero is too beeg
If you think it's hot in Siam, you should be in here where I am
The hat I got for Christmas is too beeg

The hat I got for Christmas is too beeg
It's nice, but my sombrero is too beeg
Can't tell one thing from another, I got married to my brother
The hat I got for Christmas is too beeg

But ring the bells and beat the drum
Ring the bells and beat the drum
I'll ring the bells and say "Olé!"
But Mister Señor Santy Claus you spoil my holiday


Porqué socce sombrero grande Santy Claus?
