Gene Mitchell All I Want For Christmas Is A Big Palm Tree lyrics

VERSE 1
Santa doesn't need a chimney
He can walk through a bamboo door
No need for stockings on the mantle
He can put the presents down on a teak wood floor
He doesn't want milk and cookies
He'll get a rum drink and key lime pie
When he asks me what I want for Christmas
I'll look old Santa right in the eye

CHORUS
All I want for Christmas is a big palm tree
A beach and a tropical sun
Those few things will remind me
That wintertime can still be so much fun
All bundled up just to go outside
Is not where I want to be
You can have your snow and your mistletoe
All I want for Christmas is a big palm tree

VERSE 2
Santa doesn't need a sleigh ride
All the tides and the winds are right
He can cruise to port on a sailboat
And give all his reindeer a break tonight
Have oysters and beer at the tiki bar
It won't be long and he?ll have no doubt
Why I asked him for the things I did
He'll know just what I?m talking about

CHORUS
All I want for Christmas is a big palm tree
A beach and a tropical sun
Those few things will remind me

That wintertime can still be so much fun
All bundled up just to go outside
Is not where I want to be
You can have your snow and your mistletoe
All I want for Christmas is a big palm tree

INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE 3
I don't really need a snowman
A sand castle will do just fine
No need to send me a fruitcake
The only fruit I'll need is a slice of lime
I've got the holiday spirit
And I love all those Christmas songs
About chestnuts and winter wonderlands
But where coconuts grow, that's where I belong

CHORUS
All I want for Christmas is a big palm tree
A beach and a tropical sun
Those few things will remind me
That wintertime can still be so much fun
All bundled up just to go outside
Is not where I want to be
You can have your snow and your mistletoe
All I want for Christmas is a big palm tree
TAG
You can have your snow and your mistletoe
All I want for Christmas is a big palm tree
