Are you comin' home for Christmas
Are you comin' home for the show
Are you makin' time on the red eye
To be with the only folks you call your own
Are you comin' home for the New Year
Are you comin' home for the snow
Are you tryin' to get some time away
To be with the many friends you call your own
Chorus
Cause its Christmastime in paradise
Christmastime once more
Christmastime all over again
Like the ones you used to know
Are you comin' home for Christmas
Are you comin' home for the day
Are you tryin' to meet those friends again
As if you’d never been away
Chorus
Sleigh bells ringin', Angels singin'
Players playin' again
Snow flakes fallin', Songbirds callin'
Sayers sayin' again
Sleigh bells ringin', Angels singin'
Players playin' again
Snow flakes fallin', Songbirds callin'
Sayers sayin' again
They say that Santa Claus has got a second job
Workin' on computers with his cousin Bob
They say he's workin' now from nine to five
Got a whole new way of doin' things
Got a whole new way of keepin' alive
They say he rises early in the mornin' now
Has an orange juice and a little cous cous and milk from the cow
They say he's loosin' flubber by the pound
But that's alright 'cause I would say
He's still just a little bit round
Chorus
And Santa Claus is sure to know
What to do and where to go
Santa Claus is sure to be fine
And Santa Claus is sure to remember
All the things he does in December
Santa Claus is still on side
They say he watches TV now and drives a car
And every now and then he plays a tune on his guitar
They say he's tryin' to be just a regular guy
But that's alright cause I would say
He still says ho ho on the sly
Chorus
Instrumental/Chorus
