Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey baby, lend me your ear,
Christmas time is drawing near.
Get out your silk jeans
And your space shoes.
I've got some sweet, wild, devastating news.
(Christmas), we're gonna have some fun.
(Christmas), gonna dance till we drop.
Everybody's gotta do the Christmas Bop, yeah.
Summer's gone and snow's falls down.
I'm gonna miss that golden, surfing sound.
But cold is bold and there's nothing wrong.
We're dressed sweet while I'm singing my song, yes.
