Lyrics
- I don't care what your momma says
- Christmas time is near
- I don't care what your daddy says
- Christmas time is dear
- All I know is Santa's sleigh is making it's way to the USA
- I don't care what the newsman says
- Christmas is full of cheer
- I don't care if you think it's a lie
- Christmas will soon be here
- I don't care about anything
- Except hearing them sleighbells ring-a-ding-ding
- I wish it was Christmas today
- I wish it was Christmas today
