Gettin' ready for Christmas
Haul out the holly today,
It's gonna be so fun to see everyone
So happy and gay
Now that the Season's begun.

Gettin' ready for Christmas
There's only nine more day,
You better call in your order,
So Santa will know to
Pack all your goods away.

Now there's that shopping spree
For the Christmas Tree
There's only six more days
There's so much to buy, Oh me oh my!
There's only one five more days

Gettin' ready for Christmas
You better start today
Or you might find yourself
In a real bind
Come this Christmas Day

Now there's candy to make,
And cookies to bake oh,
There's only three more days.
It's really gettin' late, so let's celebrate,
There's only two more days.

Gettin' ready for Christmas
There's only one more day
Now that you've gone for broke,
It's no joke!
Tomorrow is the day

No payments due til' next year
So give a big cheer,
Gettin' ready, gettin' ready,
Gettin' ready for Christmas Day.
