I WANT ELVIS FOR CHRISTMAS
(Darin - Kirshner)
THE HOLLY TWINS (Liberty 55048, 1956)

Well baby-baby-baby, baby-baby-baby, baby-baby-baby
You ain't nothing but a reindeer, ooh barkin' all the time
Ever since we heard you singin'
Ever since we saw you swingin'
Our hearts lit up like a Christmas tree
So please-please Elvis, spend Christmas with me
And if you won't
You ain't nothing but a reindeer, ooh barkin' all the time
Well if you ain't here for Christmas
Then you ain't no friend of mine
Baby-baby-baby, baby-baby-baby
If only you could hear what we're sayin'
If Santa Claus could hear us prayin'
There isn't anything that we wouldn't pay
If you could be here Elvis on Christmasday
And if you won't
I'll be so lonely baby, I'll be so lonely
It's gonna be a great romance
So don't be cruel and love me tender
Don't give me those blue moon blues
Come back baby, I wanna play house
And I promise not to step on your blue suede shoes
I want you, I need you, I love you
There ain't nobody above you
Won't you listen to my Yuletide plea
And please-please Elvis, spend Christmas with me
And if you won't
You ain't nothing but a reindeer, barkin' all the time
Well if you ain't here for Christmas
Then you ain't no friend of mine
So Elvis, spend Christmas with me
