Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Alright, you chipmunks
Ready to sing your song?
I'll say we are
Yeah, let's sing it now
Okay, Simon?
Okay
Okay, Theodore?
Okay
Okay, Alvin?
Alvin?
ALVIN?
Okay
[Verse 2]
Christmas, Christmas time is near
Time for toys and time for cheer
We've been good but we can't last
Hurry Christmas, hurry fast
[Verse 3]
Want a plane that loops the loop
Me, I want a hula-hoop
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be late
[Verse 4]
Okay fellas, get ready
That was very good, Simon
Naturally
Very good, Theodore
Uh, Alvin, you were a little flat
Watch it, uh, Alvin
Alvin?
ALVIN?
Okay
[Verse 5]
Want a plane that loops the loop
I still want a hula-hoop
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be late
[Verse 6]
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be late
[Verse 7]
Very good, boys
Let's sing it again
Yeah, let's sing it again
No, that's enough, let's not overdo it
What do you mean, overdo it?
We wanna sing it again
Now wait a minute, boys
Alvin, cut that, now wait
Theodore, just a minute
Simon, will you cut that out?
Get off me
