Lyrics
[Verse 1]
La-la-la-dah
La-la-dee-dah
La-da-dah
La-da-dah da-dah
[Verse 2]
How'd you like to spend Christmas
On Christmas Island?
How'd you like to spend the holiday
Away across the sea?
How'd you like to spend Christmas
On Christmas Island?
How'd you like to hang your stocking
On a great big coconut tree?
[Verse 3]
How'd you like to stay up late
Like the islanders do?
Wait for Santa to sail in
With your presents in a canoe
If you ever spend Christmas
On Christmas Island
You will never stray, for everyday
Your Christmas dreams come true
[Verse 4]
(How'd you like to spend Christmas)
(On Christmas Island?)
(How'd you like to spend the holiday)
(Away across the sea?)
(How'd you like to spend Christmas)
(On Christmas Island?)
(How'd you like to hang your stocking)
(On a great big coconut tree?)
[Verse 5]
(How'd you like to stay up late)
(Like the islanders do?)
(Wait for Santa to sail in)
(With your presents in a canoe)
(If you ever spend Christmas)
(On Christmas Island?)
(You will never stray, for everyday)
(Your Christmas dreams come true)
[Verse 6]
How'd you like to spend Christmas
On Christmas Island?
How'd you like to spend the holiday
Away across the sea?
How'd you like to spend Christmas
On Christmas Island?
How'd you like to hang your stocking
On a great big coconut tree?
[Verse 7]
How'd you like to stay up late
Like the islanders do?
Wait for Santa to sail in
With your presents in a canoe
If you ever spend Christmas
On Christmas Island?
You will never stray, for everyday
Your Christmas dreams come true
