Merry Christmas From Way Down South

Merry Christmas, from way down south
Don’t need snow to know, what it’s all about
Christmas everywhere comes the same time each year
It’s just celebrated different down here
The only snowmen in the tropical isles
Wear a light in their belly and a painted on smile
Santa Claus still comes along to bring all the loot
He just leaves behind his coat and his boots
From where life is easy
And you don’t get stressed-out
We wish you, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, from way down south
Merry Christmas, from way down south
No place to ice skate, but there is no doubt
If you just need a place to relax and unwind
There’s nothing like the islands at Christmas time
Don’t mean to make light of a snowy landscape
It’s just freezing my toes off, is not an escape
Now you may choose to be wrapped up in fur
But down here, a bathing suit is what we prefer
From where life is easy
And you don’t get stressed-out
We wish you, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, from way down south
INSTRUMENTAL
BRIDGE
I don’t mean to tell you
What I think you already know
I’d rather be sunning on a beach
Than driving in that snow (No!)
Merry Christmas, from way down south
No need to freeze, when you’re walking about
Try snow white sand and an ocean breeze
Swaying a palm by an emerald sea
Some like it cold, some like it real warm
It all may depend on where you were born
I agree when they say; to each his own
So for me, way down south is where I’ll make my home
From where life is easy
And you don’t get stressed-out
We wish you, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, from way down south
From where life is easy
And you don’t get stressed-out
We wish you, Merry Christmas… from way down south
