Now all year long we've been waiting for the season to come Working and savin', dreamin' 'bout the Christmastime fun Now the presents are under the tree I've been as good as I can be Let's call the gang over Sounds like a party to me While the little elves are workin' and the kids are in bed Reindeer are flyin' way up over our heads Everything is peaceful The stars are clear and bright We're gonna throw a party, celebrate the new year Just get some 38 Special holiday cheer This house will be a-rockin' on a wild-eyed Christmas night. Well we got a few hours till Santa starts comin' our way He's tunin' up his reindeer; the elves are loadin' the sleigh The mistletoe is hangin' above And everybody's lookin' for love So baby come a rockin'; the moonlight's slippin' away While the little elves are workin' and the kids are in bed Reindeer are flyin' way up over our heads Everything is peaceful The stars are clear and bright We're gonna throw a party, celebrate the new year Just get some 38 Special holiday cheer This house will be a-rockin' on a wild-eyed Christmas night. So baby, get ready, get dressed, it's time to rock Once the music starts pumpin', you won't be able to stop Right about quarter to four Just when we can't take anymore He'll be comin' down the chimney, just when we're ready to drop While the little elves are workin' and the kids are in bed Reindeer are flyin' way up over our heads Everything is peaceful The stars are clear and bright We're gonna throw a party, celebrate the new year
