"Yo Ho Ho" lyrics - STEWART COPELAND

She cradles her child and tells him to hush
His brother is pounding his peas into mush
They hear a car outside
Everyone's home, everyone's home

Your daddy gets home and Uncle Joe, too
Your cousins bring presents for you know who
I hear a car outside
Everyone's home, everyone's home

Your daddy gets home, puts on a raincoat
And a long white beard will cover his throat
And he'll sing, yo ho ho
He'll say yo ho ho
He'll say yo ho ho
He'll say yo ho ho
He'll say yo ho ho
On Christmas day

If the doggies get the turkey
There will be no turkey soup
While Aunt Martha cooks the gravy
We can check out the loop

Oh, is everybody ready?
You can count to ten
Everyone's home
For Christmas Day
We say yo ho ho
On Christmas Day
We say yo ho ho

Hey, is that a rabbit?
No, it's raindeer in the sky
Look at all that stuff they've got
I wonder if they need some apple pie
They must be coming down here
We've got room for strangers here
It's so cold out there
It's so warm in here

We say yo ho ho
On Christmas Day
We say yo ho ho
On Christmas Day

Happy Birthday, my dear
Happy Birthday, my dear
