Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I love Christmas in the snow
But Christmas in the sand, oh man
I tell you that's where it's at
[Verse 2]
Hawaiian Tropic on my skin
A candy cane of peppermint
A hint of cocoa on my lips
[Verse 3]
It could've been the sun
Could've been the sea
Could've been my childhood fantasy
[Verse 4]
But I saw Santa in his bathing suit
Trying to catch a wave but he tried too soon
He laughed so hard that he could barely breathe
And washed up next to me
[Verse 5]
He said, "You look naughty but I'm sure you're nice"
He was soaking wet but he cracked a smile
With a present in his hand
He said, "It's Christmas in the sand"
[Verse 6]
I must have had too much to drink
'Cause Rudolph's nose was shinin' green
I think, he was playing reindeer games on me
[Verse 7]
Santa only called him once
But you should have seen him run so fast
They were gone in a dash
[Verse 8]
It could've been the sun
Could've been the sea
Could've been my childhood fantasy
[Verse 9]
But I saw Santa in his bathing suit
Trying to catch a wave but he tried too soon
He laughed so hard that he could barely breathe
And washed up next to me
[Verse 10]
He said, "You look naughty but I'm sure you're nice"
He was soaking wet but he cracked a smile
With a present in his hand
He said, "It's Christmas in the sand"
[Verse 11]
Christmas in the sand, whoa-oh-oh
Christmas in the sand, whoa-oh-oh
Christmas in the sand
Christmas in the sand
[Verse 12]
Don't need your winter coat
Don't need your winter hat
Just grab the one you love
And say you're never coming back
[Verse 13]
You'll see Santa in his bathing suit
Trying to catch a wave but he'll try too soon
He'll laugh so hard that he can barely breathe
That's what he did to me
(That's what he did to me)
[Verse 14]
He said, "You look naughty but I'm sure you're nice"
(Sure you're nice)
He was soaking wet but he cracked a smile
(Cracked a smile)
With a present in his hand
He said, "It's Christmas in the sand"
(Christmas in the sand)
[Verse 15]
Christmas in the sand, whoa-oh-oh
Christmas in the sand, whoa-oh-oh
Christmas in the sand
I love Christmas in the sand
