Now all year long we've been waiting for the season to come
Working and savin', dreamin' 'bout the Christmastime fun
Now the presents are under the tree
I've been as good as I can be
Let's call the gang over
Sounds like a party to me

While the little elves are workin' and the kids are in bed
Reindeer are flyin' way up over our heads
Everything is peaceful
The stars are clear and bright
We're gonna throw a party, celebrate the new year
Just get some 38 Special holiday cheer
This house will be a-rockin' on a wild-eyed Christmas night.

Well we got a few hours till Santa starts comin' our way
He's tunin' up his reindeer; the elves are loadin' the sleigh
The mistletoe is hangin' above
And everybody's lookin' for love
So baby come a rockin'; the moonlight's slippin' away

While the little elves are workin' and the kids are in bed
Reindeer are flyin' way up over our heads
Everything is peaceful
The stars are clear and bright
We're gonna throw a party, celebrate the new year
Just get some 38 Special holiday cheer
This house will be a-rockin' on a wild-eyed Christmas night.

So baby, get ready, get dressed, it's time to rock
Once the music starts pumpin', you won't be able to stop
Right about quarter to four
Just when we can't take anymore
He'll be comin' down the chimney, just when we're ready to drop

While the little elves are workin' and the kids are in bed
Reindeer are flyin' way up over our heads
Everything is peaceful
The stars are clear and bright
We're gonna throw a party, celebrate the new year
