I baked a tray of cookies
For the big man that I adore
I baked a tray of cookies
So I can get everything that I'm askin' for
I went to the grocery store
Needed sugar, just a little more
And while I'm there some butter too
I'm going to impress him
These cookies will finesse him
Nobody bakes the way I do
I baked a tray of cookies
For the big man that I adore
I baked a tray of cookies
So I can get everything that I'm askin' for
He'll come down chimney
I'll wait by the stair to see
My favorite guy all dressed in red
He'll take a bite and smile
I'll linger for a while
And watch before I go to bed
I baked a tray of cookies
For the big man that I adore
I baked a tray of cookies
So I can get everything that I'm askin' for
I baked a tray of cookies
For the big man that I adore
I baked a tray of cookies
So I can get everything that I'm askin'
Get everything that I've been askin' for
Could you fall in love
With a girl under mistletoe
Cause I sure as heck could fall for a cutie like you
Tololaloooo
You pick me up at a quarter to nine
You and your bowtie looking' divine
You ring the door bell and I get weak in the knees
Whoa-o-o
I won't need a winter coat
Cause you'll keep me warm
Snuggled up inside your arms
Snug as a bug from the snowy storm
Could you fall in love
With a boy under mistletoe
Cause I sure as heck could fall for a cutie like you
Tololaloooo
We stayed out till a quarter to three
The night flew by like a couldn't believe
You flash that smile and I get weak in the knees
Whoa-o-o
Jack frost doesn't stand a chance
Cause I'll keep you warm
Swept away from his icy hand
Safe and sound from the snow storm
Jack frost doesn't stand a chance
Cause you'll keep me warm
Swept away from his icy hand
Snug as a bug from the snowy storm
Ohhhh…I could fell in love with a girl under mistletoe
And I sure as heck just fell for a cutie like you
Oh yeaaaaa
Verse
Grab your coins and get ready to play
It's our tradition on the first day
Oh it's true (hooohooohoo)…it's what we do
Watch it fall and you'll be left with nun
I'm gonna get a gimmel and have the all fun
Oh it's true (hooohooohoo)….it's what we do…aaah!
Chorus
So, baby won't you light those candles bright
Whoa! Whoa!
We're gonna party for 8 days and nights
Whoa! Whoa!
Refrain
Just like that dreidel honey spin me around
You spin me so fast that my feet lift off the ground
We're gonna live it up now and were gonna do this right
So baby won't you light those candles bright
Verse 2
Blue and white bulbs outside on the tree
Menorah in the window so everyone can see
Oh it's true (hooohooohoo)….it's what we do
Bubby fryin' latkes in the pan
Load 'em up with applesauce man-o-man
Oh it's true (hooohooohoo)…it's what we do….yea yea yea
Chorus
Refrain 2
Waitin' for those presents
We get 'em one by one
It takes a lot of patience but sure is lots of fun
We're gonna live it up now and were gonna do this right
So baby won't you light those candles bright
Instrumental
Chorus
Refrain 3
Sittin' round the table with my family and my friends
Lovin' every minute oh I hope this never ends
So baby won't you light those candles bright
So baby won't you light those candles bright
So baby won't you light those candles bright
