  • Are you ready gentlemen? (Yeah)

    Oh, when the snowman brings the snow
    Oh, well he just might like to know
    He's put a great big smile on somebody's face
    If you jump into your bed
    Quickly cover up your head
    Don't you lock the doors
    You know that sweet Santa Claus is on the way

    Oh, well I wish it could be Christmas everyday
    Oh, when the kids start singing and the band begins to play
    Oh, I wish it could be Christmas everyday
    Let the bells ring out for Christmas (Christmas)

    Oh, when we're skating in the park
    If the snow cloud makes it dark
    Then your rosy cheeks are gonna light my merry way
    Now the frosty paws appear
    And they've frozen up my ear
    So we'll lie by the fire
    'Til the sleet simply knocks 'em all away

    Well I wish it could be Christmas everyday
    When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
    Oh, I wish it could be Christmas every day
    So let the bells ring out for Christmas

    Oh, when the snowman brings the snow (when the snowman brings the snow)
    Oh, well he just might like to know (well he just might like to know)
    He's put a great big smile on somebody's face

    So if Santa brings that sleigh (Santa brings that sleigh)
    All along the milky way (along the milky way)
    I'll sign my name on the rooftop in the snow
    Then he may decide to stay

    Oh, well I wish it could be Christmas everyday
    When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
    Oh, I wish it could be Christmas everyday
    So let the bells ring out for Christmas

    Under your arms, check it

    Oh, well I wish it could be Christmas everyday (Christmas everyday)
    When the kids start singing and the band begins to play (oh)
    Oh, I wish it could be Christmas everyday
    Let the bells ring out for Christmas

    Why don't you give your love for Christmas

    (When the snowman brings the snow)
    (When the snowman brings the snow)
    (When the snowman brings the snow)
    (When the snowman brings the snow)
    (When the snowman brings the snow)

  • Bigblue1894 from Manchester, UkThe opening lines are about a cocaine dealer. If you get the original sheet music, the word snowman is in quote marks. When the "snowman" brings the snow. Well I thought you might like to know. He's out a great big smile on somebody's face. Very subversive.
