Taking Care of Christmas Songtext

von Randy Bachman

It's that time of year again
To take some paper and a pen
And write your Christmas letter to St. Nick.
Send it to the North Pole,
To his workshop in the snow,
And he'll put his elves to workin' on it quick.

Tell Santa you've been good,
You've done the things you should,
And you're waitin' for his visit Christmas Eve.
If you're in bed by nine,
You'll give him lots of time
To put some special toys under your tree.

Then he'll be takin' care of Christmas—every day,
Takin' care of Christmas—in his sleigh,
Takin' care of Christmas—an' doin' it right.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Johnny wants a motor scooter.
Billy wants a new computer.
Suzy wants a new guitar and drum machine.
Daddy wants a new Corvette,
CD player, and cassette.
Mommy wants a 14-carat diamond ring.

But don't forget the girls and boys
Who can't afford a lot of toys.
It's up to you to fill their empty plate.
It's a time to share with the kiddies everywhere.
That's the way to make this Christmas great.
Randy Bachman
And you'll be takin' care of Christmas—ev'ry day,
Takin' care of Christmas—ev'ry way,
You'll be takin' care of Christmas—an' doin' it right.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
Be good!
