Lyrics
Let’s get away from sleighbells
Let’s get away from snow
Let’s make a break some Christmas dear
I know the place to go
Chorus
How’d-ja like to spend Christmas
On Christmas Island?
How’d-ja like to spend a Holiday
Away across the sea?
How’d-ja like to spend Christmas
On Christmas Island?
How’d-ja like to hang your stockin’
On a great big coconut tree?
How’d-ja like to stay up late like the Islanders do
Wait for Santa to sail in
With your presents in a canoe?
If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island
You will never stray, for ev’ry day
Your Christmas dreams come true
