Lyrics
Hello? Hi, Merry Christmas sweetness
Where are you?
Oh, I’m cooking, the bells ringing
People are running back and forth, coming in and out
The kids are here, you know
Uh, cooking everything. Okay
Oh, my food is burning, I’ll call you back

Oh, baby, yeah, yeah
Oh, darling, darling, darling, baby

Hang all the mistletoe
I’m gonna get to know you better this Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it’s gonna be together this Christmas

Fireside is blazing bright
And we’re caroling through the night, yeah
And this Christmas will be, oh
A very special Christmas, oh, yeah, for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Hi, Eddie, my son
Sing Ed

Presents and cards are here
My world is filled with cheer and you  (oh, yeah, yeah)
This Christmas
And as I look around  (oh, yeah)
Your eyes outshine the town, oh, they do, this Christmas

The fireside is blazing bright
Said we’re caroling  (caroling)
Through the night

Eddie, you mustn’t upstage your mom with those high notes

Shake a hand, shake a hand
Meet a friend, meet a friend, y’all

This Christmas

Fireside is blazing bright
And we’re caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very, very, very special Christmas for real, yes it will

This is what we got to do, gang, oh, oh, oh, for me
Oh, this Christmas
Yeah, yeah, yeah, this Christmas
You’ll be sittin’ somewhere, and you’ve got the blues
Think about the man who ain’t got no shoes, yeah, yeah

Hang on, hold on until Christmas
Higher, higher, hang on, hold on to Christmas
Hang on, hold on until Christmas
Yeah, hold on to your faith, ’til Christmas and after, oh, and after, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

This Christmas, this Christmas, this Christmas
Well, well, well, well, well, well
Hold on, hold on, hold on ’til Christmas
You gotta hold on

Merry Christmas mum
And when the green’s gonna be ready?

Merry Christmas Eddie
The green’s almost ready
Everything’s on the stove
But don’t look for no chitlins this year
And chitlins almost kill me last year

Català – Aquest Nadal
Hola? Hola, Bon Nadal dolçor
On estàs?
Oh, estic cuinant, les campanes sonen
La gent corre endavant i enrere, entren i surten
Els nens són aquí, ja m’entens
Uh, cuinar-ho tot. D’acord
Oh, el menjar s’està cremant, et tornaré a trucar

Oh, noi, sí, sí
Oh, estimat, estimat, estimat, noi

Penja tot el vesc
Arribaré a conèixer-te millor aquest Nadal
I mentre decorem l’arbre
Que divertit serà estar junts aquest Nadal

La xemeneia està cremant amb força
I cantem nadales tota la nit, sí
I aquest Nadal serà, oh
Un Nadal molt especial, oh, sí, per a mi
Sí, sí, sí

Hola, Eddie, fill meu
Canta Ed

Regals i postals són aquí
El meu món s’omple d’alegria i tu  (oh, sí, sí)
Aquest Nadal
I mentre miro al meu voltant  (oh, sí)
Els teus ulls eclipsen la ciutat, oh, ho fan, aquest Nadal

La xemeneia està cremant amb força
He dit que cantem nadales  (cantem nadales)
Tota la nit

Eddie, no has d’eclipsar a la teva mare amb aquestes notes altes

Doneu la mà, doneu la mà
Feu un amic, feu un amic, tots vosaltres

Aquest Nadal

La xemeneia està cremant amb força
I cantem nadales tota la nit
I aquest Nadal serà
Un Nadal molt, molt, molt especial de veritat, sí, ho serà

Això és el que hem de fer, penya, oh, oh, oh, per a mi
Oh, aquest Nadal
Sí, sí, sí, aquest Nadal
Estaràs assegut en algun lloc, i si estàs trist
Pensa en l’home que no té sabates, sí, sí

Espera, aguanta fins a Nadal
Amunt, més amunt, espera, espera al Nadal
Espera, aguanta fins a Nadal
Sí, tingues fe fins Nadal i després, oh, i després, sí, sí
Oh, sí, sí, sí, sí, sí, sí

Aquest Nadal, aquest Nadal, aquest Nadal
Bé, bé, bé, bé, bé, bé
Aguanta, aguanta, aguanta fins a Nadal
Has d’aguantar

Bon Nadal Mama
I quan estarà a punt l’amanida?

Bon Nadal Eddie
L’amanida està gairebé a punt
Tot està al forn
Però no busquis menuts aquest any
Els menuts gairebé em maten l’any passat
