Decorations are all hung by the fire
Everybody's singin'
All the bells are ringin' out
And it's Christmas all over again, yeah, again
Long distance relatives
Yeah, I kind of missed 'em
I just don't wanna kiss 'em, no
And it's Christmas all over again, yeah, again

Little kids gon' get down
And Christmas is a rockin' time
Put your body next to mine
Underneath the mistletoe we go, we go, whoa, whoa
