When Christmas is in America,
it's time for a song and feast
with family and friends
and gifts of love, and joy and peace.
The children wait for Santa Claus
in hopes he'll soon be there,
upon the roof with a sack of toys,
his sled and his eight reindeer.
Chorus
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, go,
I travel from here to there,
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, go,
Visiting children everywhere.
When Christmas is in Old England
we¹ll eat our mincemeat pie.
And bells will ring from every tower
just about midnight.
Father Christmas leaves his gifts
around the fireplace.
But other gifts are then exchanged
on a very special day.
Chorus
When Christmas is in Mexico
they fill their shoes with grain.
They put them out on a window ledge
on the Three Kings' day.
And when they sleep the Magi will come
and his camels will eat the grain.
He¹ll leave some candy and trinkets too,
just like they do in Spain.
Chorus
When Christmas is in Germany
they decorate their tree
with wooden toys and gingerbread
for everyone to see.
Kris Kringle is the bearer of gifts
and nuts and apples and sweets.
And the children carry a golden star
and sing all through the streets.
