Lyrics
?CHRISTMAS THING?
music & lyrics by
GAYLA SMITH
Take a nite off from the holiday rattle
the thought of it wears me out
somehow never did believe it?s what He meant
when He told us what Christmas was about
man do i wish i could change it
slow it down and make it sweet
read about the journey of the three wise men
and sing about it in the street
CHORUS:
sit down sit down sit down sit down everybody
listen to the church bells ring
all i?m trying to say is we shouldn?t really sweat it when they?re doin? the Christmas thing
sit down sit down sit down sit down
don?t ya love to hear the church choir sing
all i?m trying to say is nobody outta sweat it when they?re doin? the Christmas Thing.
we try to buy love in boxes
happiness and peace on earth
what?s it got to do with the baby in the manger
and the story about His birth
the message stone cold simple
the moral is so complete
that God is love, love is God
peace on earth on is sweet
repeat chorus * bridge * repeat chorus
