You You You Are The One
Russ Morgan and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you'll avoid the rush
I want you for Christmas
Anything that Santa would bring
Would never compare with you
I want you for Christmas
And nothing but you will do
I just wrote a letter
And if my wish come true
You can bet by Ginni
You'll come down that chimney
With a bag full of you
I want you for Christmas
If only Santa does what he should
I'll knock on wood for him to make good
Christmas morning, baby, I only want you

Do your Christmas shopping right away
Start shopping for Christmas without delay
And you'll avoid the rush
This will help you avoid the last-minute shopping rush
I want you for Christmas
I desire to spend my Christmas with you
Anything that Santa would bring
No material gifts from Santa can compare to your presence
Would never compare with you
You are priceless and cannot be compared with any gifts
You're a pet that money can't get
You are a valuable treasure that cannot be bought with money
And nothing but you will do
You are the only thing I want for Christmas
I just wrote a letter
I have just written a letter to Santa Claus
And if my wish come true
If Santa grants my wish
You can bet by Ginni
I'm sure beyond doubt
You'll come down that chimney
You will appear through the chimney
With a bag full of you
Bringing yourself as a perfect gift
I want you for Christmas
You are my only wish for Christmas
If only Santa does what he should
My only request is if Santa Claus can fulfill my wish
I'll knock on wood for him to make good
I'll hope and pray that Santa grants my wish
Christmas morning, baby, I only want you
On Christmas morning, my only desire is to be with you

Wow.. Is it only me or.. Even two moments in music are linking to The Old Nickelodeon Sound by Sailor. Kajanus was then 3 years old. Absolutely different songs still, but I just had some joy of recognition.. :D
