Ho-ho-ho
Shake up the happiness
Wake up the happiness
Shake up the happiness
It's Christmas time.

1. There's a story that I was told
And I wanna tell the world before I get too old
And don't remember it, so let's December it
And reassemble it, oh, yeah.

Once upon a time in a town like this
A little girl made a great big wish
To fill the world full of happiness
And be on Santa's magic list.

[Chorus:]
Shake it up, shake up the happiness
Wake it up, wake up the happiness
Come on, y'all, it's Christmas time.

Shake it up, shake up the happiness
Wake it up, wake up the happiness
Come on, y'all, it's Christmas time.

Ho-ho-ho
Ho-ho-ho
It's Christmas time.

2. At the same time, miles away
A little boy made a wish that day
That the world would be okay
And Santa Claus would hear him say.

I got dreams and I got love
I got my feet on the ground and family above
Can you send some happiness with my best
To the rest of the people of the East and the West?

And maybe every once in a while
You'll give my grandma a reason to smile
'Tis the season of smile
It's cold but we'll be freezin' in style.

And let me meet a girl one day
That wants to spread some love this way
We can let our souls run free
And she can open some happiness with me.

[Bridge:]
I know you're out there
I hear your reindeer
I see the snow
Where your boots have been.

I'm gonna show them
So they will know then
Their love will grow when
They believe again.
