Christmas comes but once a year
December, twenty-five
Yeah, it don't come but once a year
December, twenty-five
That’s the time to give your loved ones
The perfect give to make things right
Now for all you pretty women
I know just what will please your man
Yeah, for all you pretty women
I know just what will please your man
Tie it up with yellow ribbons
And he'll be putty in your hands
Get him some blues for Christmas
(Blues for Christmas)
I said, some blues for Christmas
(Blues for Christmas)
Don't worry about no Jaguar, or Coupe de Ville
Drive that man crazy, give him a thrill
Get him some blues for Christmas
(Blues for Christmas)
Yeah, some blues for Christmas
Now for all you men out there
Who just don’t know what to buy
If it's December twenty-fourth
And you still don't know what to buy
I've got the perfect gift for you
That will keep her satisfied
Oh, give her some blues for Christmas
(Blues for Christmas)
Yeah, some blues for Christmas
(Blues for Christmas)
Don't worry about diamonds, sables, or pearls
Let her know she's special and out of this world
Give her some blues for Christmas
(Blues for Christmas)
I said, some blues for Christmas
(Blues for Christmas)
I talked to Santa just today
For all you good little girls and boys
I talked to Santa just today
For all you good little girls and boys
Told him to bring you the one thing
That will fill your life with joy
Yeah, bring them some blues for Christmas
(Blues for Christmas)
Tell Rudolph to bring some blues for Christmas
(Blues for Christmas)
Don't worry about some new toy to trash up the house
Compared to the blues, all that stuff is Mickey Mouse
Give them some blues for Christmas
(Blues for Christmas)
Yeah, some blues for Christmas
(Blues for Christmas)
[Outro: Spoken]
Oh, he'll love that BB King
Put some of that Clapton in her stocking, boy
I’m tellin’ ya
You just can't go wrong with some blues for Christmas
