2) All I Want For Christmas
Cue: What are housewares anyway? That’s just another grown-up word for bor-ing! Just look at all this cool stuff. I want toys, toys, and more toys. [piano starts, plays behind singer first verse]
Full band Cue:let’s see, where’s my list? Ah there it is!
| C Am Dm . | . G F C | . Am Dm . | D .G . |
I want a fashion doll with lots of clothes, a teddy bear with a fuzzy nose
A red race car that really goes, but wait, there’s more
| C Am Dm . | . G F C | . Am Dm . | D .G . |
A cooking set with plastic food, a baby doll that cries and coos
A princess gown with sparkly shoes, but wait, there’s more
| F .G . | C .Am . | Dm .G . | Gm .C . |F .E . | Am .Fm . |C . . . | G .Am . |A#- .G . |
My list is getting longer by the minute, I don’t want the toy store, just what’s in it
I’ve been a good girl all year long so why can’t my list go on and on … …
| C Am Dm . | . G F C | . Am Dm . | D .G . |
I wanna brand new bike with shiny wheels, a piggy bank, the one that squeals
A doll house trimmed in mauve and teal, but wait, there’s more
| C Am Dm . | . G F C | . Am Dm . | D .G . |
Some inline skates, a new TV, some software with my own PC
A private phone line just for me, well now, let’s see
Band out, piano only:
That’s all I want for Christmas, at least that’s all for now
This wanting makes me tired, and this wishing wears me out
Maybe I can think of more, I’ll put on my thinking cap
Or maybe I’ll just sit right her and take a little nap
Piano plays dream music
