He sure has my toes a-tappin’
This little Child born in Bethlehem
I know I’ve got the Christmas spirit
And it ain’t even Christmas yet

The world may not believe what I’m sayin’
But what I’m sayin’ is how I feel
And how I feel is somethin’ special
And this somethin’ special is so real

I know I’ve got the Christmas spirit
Because I’m happy and I’m laughin’ like a clown
I haven’t any reason to be cryin’
So why in the world should I frown

He sure has my toes a-tappin’
This little Child born in Bethlehem
I know I’ve got the Christmas spirit
And it ain’t even Christmas yet

You do not have to wait until Christmas
To celebrate the birth of our Lord
Do every day that you are livin’
Happiness will be your just reward

I know I’ve got the Christmas spirit
Because I’m happy and I’m laughin’ like a clown
I haven’t any reason to be cryin’
So why in the world should I frown

He sure has my toes a-tappin’
This little Child born in Bethlehem
I know I’ve got the Christmas spirit
And it ain’t even Christmas yet
