I like to imagine that the lyrics can be shared with the little ones and then they can go online to look at images of any of the creatures mentioned in the song that they may be unfamiliar with. HAPPIEST OF HOLIDAYS : )
Lyrics
Where do the animals go
in the wintertime when it gets so cold ?
Why do the birds still sing
when there’s a blanket o’ snow
and you can’t see anything ?
Well, I tripped and fell
an’ got my head stuck in a hole,
then dropped my jaw when I saw
Chorus :
Underground,
where there’s no one else around,
there’s a whole little
creature CHRISTMAS Town
Verse :
I saw squirrels and bunnies
but they looked kinda funny,
dressed as elves, puttin’ presents on shelves
There were mice and bees layin’ tinsel on a tree
an’ bulbs on beetles pickin’ up pine needles
Then a mole skied by
and four possums caught my eye
They were in a toboggan
I thought about that often
Chorus
Break :
Then all of a sudden, amongst the twinkling lights,
somethin’ big, white and red came into sight :
Boots and a belt and warm-hearted paws -
It was a big fluffy bear dressed as Santie Claus
Chorus
Repeat beginning
Verse
Verse 2 :
You ever hear fish in a barrel sing a Christmas carol
or heard a porcupine practicin’ Auld Lang Syne ?
There’s an old hedgehog servin’ eggnog
Grasshoppers by a lake makin’ fruitcakes
Hey, look at that - an armadillo ice skatin’
It’s a yuletide no hibernation nation
Crawly Holly, Furry Jolly
Chorus
Chorus
There’s a whole little
creature CHRISTMAS Town
