lyrics

Christmas time it’s easy to be nice
Unless you’re one of those that’s cold as ice
I eat candy canes in bed
I’ll never get ahead
Forget that sugar I’m ready for a little spice

Goody-goody, goody-goody
That’s all they think of me
Goody-goody, goody-goody
I want to show you who I want to be
Christmas time would be just fine if only they understood
Someone tell Santa we’re tired of being good

Solo - (Over chorus)

When we were kids we’d be asleep on Christmas Eve
Now we dance all night around the Christmas tree
Don’t forget Earth Kitt
Or Santa Baby might have a fit
She’s the cat’s meow
And it’s all we ever wanted to be!

Goody-goody, goody-goody
That’s all they think of me
Goody-goody, goody-goody
I want to show you who I want to be
Christmas time would be just fine if only they understood
Someone tell Santa we’re tired of being good

Goody-goody, goody-goody
Goody-goody, goody-goody

Someone tell Santa we’re tired of being good
