The christmas song
Phoebe Buffay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Went to the store,
Sat on Santa's lap
I asked him to bring my friends all kinds of crap
He said all you need is to write them a song
Now you haven't heard it yet, so don't try to sing along
So don't sing along

Monica, Monica have a happy Hanukkah
Saw Santa Claus he said hello to Ross




And please tell Joey Christmas will be snowy
And Rachel and Chandler...(mumbles)

Overall Meaning

The Christmas Song in Friends is performed by Phoebe Buffay and the lyrics illustrate her unique and quirky personality. In the first verse, she talks about sitting on Santa's lap in a store and telling him that she wants to get her friends all kinds of crap for Christmas. Santa, however, suggests that all she needs to do is write them a song. In the second verse, Phoebe proceeds to call out each of her friends individually and she wishes Monica a happy Hanukkah, Ross gets a simple greeting from Santa, Joey is told that Christmas will be snowy, and she stumbles over the name of Chandler before mumbling incoherently.
