lyrics

It’s been 35 since late July
And my poor heart is cold as ice
I just need a second of relief

Now don’t get me wrong, like anyone
I still love a white December
But I can’t help but dream this Christmas Eve

Of Hawaiian sunrise, sippin Mai tais
Making angels in the sand
A Melikaliki tiki Christmas tan

Egg nog ice and hula skirts
I’m laughin till my stomach hurts
Cuz I’m at the beach and you’re at home and sad
I got a one-way ticket to a tiki Christmas land, oooh

I can’t believe how easily
You dumped me like an old Christmas tree
Guess I’m just wrapping paper to discard
My friends say next year I’ll be fine
To drown my sorrows in mulled wine
But I know how to mend this broken heart

Hawaiian sunrise, sippin Mai tais
Making angels in the sand
A Melikaliki tiki Christmas tan

Egg nog ice and hula skirts
I’m laughin till my stomach hurts
Cuz I’m at the beach and you’re at home and sad
I got a one-way ticket to a tiki Christmas land, oooh

Oh why’d you have to be so naughty to me?
I burned your stocking, now I’m knocking boots under a mango tree

‘neath Hawaiian sunrise, sippin Mai tais
With a long-haired surfer man
A Melikaliki tiki Christmas tan

Pineapple fruitcake, big luao
I’ll hang my star on a palm tree bow
And forget you ever made me blue
Yeah I’m island hoppin and I’m going without you
Got a one-ticket to a sunny, beachy, Christmas dream come true
