Straight No Chaser Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Ah) a-a-a-ah
(Ah) ooh yes
(Ah-ah)
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
(I'm dreaming of a white Christmas)
(I'm dreaming of a white Christmas)
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And the children listen
To hear those sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases
(And may all) all your Christmases
(And may all) may all your Christmases
Be white
And may all of your Christmases
Be white
(I'm dreaming of a white)
(I'm dreaming of a white)
May they be white
(I'm dreaming of a white)
Christmases be white

"The 12 Days Of Christmas"
On the 1st day of Christmas my true love gave to me
A partridge in a pear tree
On the 2nd day of Christmas my true love gave to me
2 turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
On the 4th day of Chris
On the 3rd day of Christmas my true love gave to me
5 golden rings!
4 calling birds, 3 french hens, 2 turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the 9th day of Christmas my true love gave to me
(On the 8th day of Christmas my true love gave to me)
9 ladies dancing, 8 ladies dancing
(8 maids a-milking, 7 maids a-milking)
7 ladies dancing, 6 ladies dancing
(6 maids a-milking)
5!
Better not shout, you better not cry
You better not, in a pear tree
On the 9th
No!
On the 8th
No!
On the 7th day of Christmas my true love gave to me
(Deck the halls with boughs of holly)
7 swans a-swimming, 6 geese a-laying
(Here we come a-wassailing, among the leaves so)
5 golden rings!
(Fa la la la)
4 calling birds, 3 french hens, 2 turtle doves
(Here we come a-wassailing among the leaves so green)
The boar's head in hand bear I bedeck'd with bays
And partridge in a pear tree
On the 11th day of Christmas my true love gave to me
11 pipers piping, 10 lords a-leaping
(Ding, dong)
9 ladies dancing, 8 maids a-milking
(Ding, dong)
7 swans a swimming, 6 geese a laying
(Ding, dong)
5 golden rings, 4 calling birds
3 french hens, 2 turtle doves
And Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!
On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me
I have a little dreidel, I made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready, a dreidel I shall play
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel
Sorry...
On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me
On the 12th day my true love gave to me
12 drummers drumming like Olympus upon the Serengeti
11 pipers piping, 10 lords a-leaping!
9 ladies dancing they were dancing for me
8 maids a-milking, they were milking just for me
I had Christmas down in Africa
I had Christmas down in Africa
I had Christmas down in Africa
(5 golden rings!)
I had Christmas down in Africa
(5 golden rings!)
I had Christmas down in Africa
(5 golden rings!)
Gonna deck the halls and do the things we never had
Partridge in a big pear tree
Partridge in a big pear tree

@Mr402TA
Harmony is hard enough, but organizing chaos so perfectly is freakin amazing.
@JoshBG20
"I had Christmas down in Africa, FIVE GOLDEN RINGS!" That falsetto is amazing, love it!
@ashuhlea
The fact that when I first heard this I cringed like "oh damn they messed up," now I can't hear Africa by ToTo without singing Christmas in Africa.
