Song Lyrics

It's Christmas Eve and woe is me
Gotta do some shoppin' in a big hurry
Gotta make a list, gotta check it twice
Gotta read the ads, gotta ask advice
Better start right now, better start today
Gonna be in trouble if I delay
Just look outside at all that snow
Got the Christmas spirit, HO HO HO!

Gotta shop, shop
Gotta shop, shop
Gotta shop, shop
Gotta shop shop-doo-op!

Look in my wallet, what do I see
Empty space staring back at me
Check my wallet, news is bad
Can't go shoppin till I talk to dad
Ask him nice for a little loan
Some collateral to call my own
Then FA LA LA, I'm out of here
To spread a little Christmas cheer!

Gotta shop, shop
Gotta shop, shop
Gotta shop, shop
Gotta shop shop-doo-op!

How bout a watch for my brother Bob
He's always late for his downtown job
A fruitcake for my aunt Eileen
She's a REAL fruitcake if you know what I mean
There's Mom and Dad, and Uncle Smitty
And all those cousins in Kansas City
The list gets longer, everyday
Jing Jing Jingle, I'm on my way!

Gotta shop, shop
Gotta shop, shop
Gotta shop, shop
Gotta shop shop-doo-op!

Hurry home to wrap and tie
St. Nick will be here by and by
Pile those presents on the floor
Light the tree and lock the door
Tiptoe off to fall in bed
Sugarplums dancing in my head
Can't wait, till Christmas comes
But then, I can't wait till I can shop again!

Gotta shop, shop
Gotta shop, shop
Gotta shop, shop
Gotta shop shop-doo-op!

Gotta shop, shop
Gotta shop, shop
Gotta shop, shop
Gotta shop shop-doo-op!
