All the good memories of when I was young
Couldn’t wait for Christmas
For Christmas to come
All the family would get together
And cook up a great a great big dinner
Then we’d sit around the tree
And open our presents
And we all knew that Santa was you
So Mama I gotta tell you
This one’s for you
Yeah you
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
And I was only about eight years old
I was so excited
A memory worth more than gold
It was when I was allowed to season the turkey
It was the tastiest bird
That we did ever eat
Mmmm
So Mama I gotta tell you
This one’s for you
Yeah you
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
And now we’re far apart
Sharing Christmas by sending cards
Greetings over the phone
Wishing I could travel home for Christmas
For Christmas
So Mama I gotta tell you
This one’s for you
Yeah you
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas

It’s Christmas again
Our favourite time of year
We unite with family and friends
Cats and dogs wassup up dawg
Sometimes boy and girlfriends girlfriend
And we won’t let Aunty cook
We’ll never let her cook again
Instead she bakes
She says she baked a cake
We know she pretends
We act like we believe hahaha and we grin
Oh oh we grin hahaha
We’ll hang the decorations
We’ll light up the tree
We’ll sit around the table
We’ll cook up a feast
We’ll open up our presents
Watch a movie on TV
Yeah it’s Christmas
Hurray it’s Christmas
It’s Christmas time again
It’s Christmas time again
Our favourite time of year
We’re so happy we don’t want it to end
We drink eggnog
It got spiked once again
And grandpa drinks too much
And he drank 6 cups
And he drives us round the bend
Oh oh
We’ll hang the decorations
We’ll light up the tree
We’ll sit around the table
We’ll cook up a feast
We’ll open up our presents
Watch a movie on TV
Yeah it’s Christmas
Hurray it’s Christmas
It’s Christmas time again
It’s Christmas time again
It’s the best the very best time of the year
Christmas is the best the very best time of the year
Yeah
It’s Christmas time again
It’s Christmas time again

If you’re feeling lonely this Christmas this one’s for you
Christmas was once a busy time
You once had loads of gifts to wrap
So many gifts to buy
And they were all stacked under the tree
Twinkling lights, baubles and sweets
But there’s no tree anymore
But there’s one thing that never changes
It’s been the same throughout the ages
Throughout the ages
Hello it’s Santa Claus
Don’t worry it’s okay
I’m only a call away
Ho ho ho
So happy we’re on the phone
I know you’re all alone
But I’m good
And how are you doing
Hello it’s Santa Claus
This one’s for you
Fa la la la la la la la la
Christmas was always a happy time
Friends would visit but now they’re gone
Fa la la la la la la la la
But now you’re fighting back the tears
Thinking about all of those happy years
When everyone was all around
But there’s one thing that never changes
It’s been the same throughout the ages
Throughout the ages
Hello it’s Santa Claus
Don’t worry it’s okay
I’m only a call away
Ho ho ho
So happy we’re on the phone
I know you’re all alone
But I’m good
And how are you doing
Hello it’s Santa Claus
I dropped by on Christmas Eve
And you were fast asleep
Fa la la la la la la la la
Hello it’s Santa Claus
Don’t worry it’s okay
I’m only a call away
Fa la la la la la la la la
Ho ho ho
So happy we’re on the phone
I know you’re all alone
But I’m good
And how are you doing
Hello it’s Santa Claus
Fa la la la la la la la la
Fa la la la la la la la la

Aah aah aah
You asked me to write a list for my Christmas gifts
But I couldn’t think of anything specific oh
I guess some toiletries would do
Or a bottle of perfume
There’s always time for a manicure or better yet a pedicure
Really anything would do oh
If you really want to know what I want for Christmas
I’ll take you and nothing else
You could buy me loads of things
But if you don’t it doesn’t matter
If the only thing I can have for Christmas is you nothing nothing would be better uh uh
If you could and would like to spend a couple of grand
Maybe a diamond ring would be terrific oh
And they have matching earrings too
Really anything will do
Really anything will do oh
If you wanna know what I want for Christmas
If you really want to know what I want for Christmas
I’ll take you and nothing else
You could buy me loads of things
But if you don’t it doesn’t matter
If the only thing I can have for Christmas is you nothing nothing would be better
If we don’t have loads of presents to open on Christmas Day
It all won’t matter in any way
Because at Christmas the most important thing is you
And only you
If you really want to know what I want for Christmas
Then I’ll take you and nothing else
You could buy me loads of things
But if you don’t it doesn’t matter
If the only thing I can have for Christmas is you nothing would be better
Nothing nothing would be better
Aah aah aah

YayRaven recommends:
Through the Dark (EP)
by Audra Bryant
I got scars baby and flaws, don't we all. No one is perfect. I like this vocalist's voice. I could listen to her every day.
go to album
Again I like this lady's voice and what she sings and raps is interesting. It's different and grabs your attention. I like the smooth RnB vocals of the male vocalist too and the music production.
go to album
Relaxing soulful beats for the Black Lives Matter cause. This works for good weekend music. Some beats end abruptly and unexpected which wakes your head up because of the unexpected. Very clever.

Orchid Underneath
by Jane Paknia
Delightfully unpredictable debut from a New York electronic producer and composer with backgrounds in psychedelic rock, jazz, and indie pop.
go to album
Baltimore percussionist Jacober's brilliant dance-pop is percussion-driven and layered with summery sounds like marimba.
