Lyrics

The (C)snow man is shap ing up to be an eight, but (F)not out of ten.

The (C)ro bots a wake to find that they’ve been taped down (G)won der ing when

they’ll (Am)break through these chains.

But lit tle boys have ac tion toys for brains.

I’m liv ing proof it can (G)last a long time.

Now the (C)girls off the (F)street (C)are in no cent and (F)sweet (C)when they’re (F)all in bed.

They’ve got their (C)make up and dreams of won der land sprinkl ed in (C)side their heads.

And (Am)soon they will change,

but to night Hol ly wood has nev er seemed so strange.

Now moth ers pray it ’ll (G)last a long (C)time.

I wan na roll a (C)round

like a kid

in the snow.

I wan na re (Am)learn

what I al

read y know.

Just let me take (F)flight

dressed in (G)red

through the night

on a (F)great (C)big sled,

I wan na (G7)wish you Mer ry (C)Christ mas.
