Lyrics
It's that time, Christmas time is here Everybody knows there's not a better time of year Hear that sleigh, Santa's on his way Hip, Hip Hooray, for Christamas Vacation

Gotta a ton of stuff to celebrate (jing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-ling) Now it's getting closer I can't wait (jang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-lang) Gonna make this holiday as perfect as can be Just wait and see this Christmas Vacation

This old house, sure is looking good Got ourselves the finest snowman in the neighborhood Ain't it fun, always on the run That's how its done on Christmas Vacation

Lets all deck the halls and light the lights (jing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-ling) Get a toasty fire buring bright (jang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-lang) Give St Nick the warmest welcome that he's every had We're so glad it Christmas Vacation

And when the nights are peacful and serene We can cuddle up and do our Chirstmas dreaming

(jing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-ling) (jang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-lang)

Christmas Vacation (repeat)

We're so glad it's Christmas Vacation

Peace and joy and love are everywere (jing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-ling) You can feel the magic in the air (jang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-lang) Let the spirit of the season carry us away Hip, Hip Hooray for Christmas Vacation

Fa-la-la-la-la and ho ho ho Jingle, jangle, jingle as we go Let the spirit of the season... (fade)
