Let's get away from sleigh bells
Let's get away from snow
Let's make or break some Christmas ? dear
I know the place to go
How'd you like to spend Chrismas on Christmas Island?
How'd you like to spend the holiday away across the sea?
How'd you like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island?
How'd you like to hang a stocking on a great big coconut tree?
