Christmas, Christmas time is near
Time for toys and time for cheer
We've been good, but we can't last
Hurry Christmas, hurry fast
Want a plane that loops the loop
Me, I want a hula hoop
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be late.

Dave:	Okay fellas get ready. That was very good, Simon.
Simon:	Naturally.
Dave:	Very good Theodore.
Theodore:	Ahhh.
Dave:	Ah, Alvin, you were a little flat, watch it. Ah, Alvin. Alvin. ALVIN!
Alvin:	OKAY!

Want a plane that loops the loop
I still want a hula hoop
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be late.
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be late.

Dave:	Very good, boys.
Chipmunks:	Lets sing it again! Yeah, lets sing it again!
Dave:	No, That's enough, lets not overdo it
