Lyrics

Sock it to me
Sock it
All the boys and girls
Playing in the snow
Well their eyes are lit
For santa's sure to know
They're hoping for a lot
Of the things he's got
Hoping for a lot
Of the things that he's got
Tell me what you see
(That's the sign of Christmas)
One more time
(That's the sign of Christmas)
Tell me tell me tell me
(That's the sign of Christmas)
Take it on down, down
Down, look here
Parking lots a jam
Shoppers are galore
Finding their new gifts
From their favorite store
All this love is shown
In the hearts of men
I repeat all this love is shown
In the hearts of men
Tell me tell me what you see
(That's the sign of Christmas)
I believe I see the same
(That's the sign of Christmas)
Whao tell me one more time
(That's the sign of Christmas)
Take it down, down
Sock it, sock it, look here
Molly wants a bike
Jimmy wants a kite that flies
Billy wants a sled, tell me what I said
Mother wants a bed
Daddy wants a boat, row it
Sister wants a coat
Now tell me one more time
Tell me what you see, repeat
(That's the sign of Christmas)
One more time
(That's the sign of Christmas)
Tell me tell me tell me tell me
(That's the sign of Christmas)
Take it on down
Wait
Look here
Part of being a man, look here
Very people pay
All their own regard
To their long dear friend
And their pretty pretty cars
Hoping for the best
Of the yule tide zest
Hoping for the best
Of that yule tide zest
Repeat tell me
(That's the sign of Christmas)
Can you re-repeat
(That's the sign of Christmas)
What do you see now
(That's the sign of Christmas)
Take it on, take it on
Take it on, take it on
Look here, one more time
Molly wants a bike
Jimmy wants a kite that flies
Billy wants a sled, do ya heat me
Mother wants a bed
Daddy wants a boat, now row it
Sister wants a coat, now show it
Tell me one more time
Look here, can you repeat
Now tell me
(That's the sign of Christmas)
Wait for me baby
(That's the sign of Christmas)
