I love Christmas in the snow But Christmas in the sand don't end I tell you that's where it's at Hawaiian Tropic on my skin A candy cane of peppermint, a hint Of cocoa on my lips It could've been the sun It could've been the sea It could've been my childhood fantasy I saw Santa in his bathing suit Tried to catch a wave, but he tried to soon He laughed so hard that he could barely breathe And washed up next to me He said that you look naughty But I'm sure you're nice He was soaking wet but he cracked a smile With a present in his hand He said it's Christmas in the sand I must have had too much to drink 'Cause Rudolph's nose was shining green, I think He was playing reindeer games on me Santa only called him once But you should've seen him run so fast They were gone in a dash It could've been the sun It could've been the sea It could've been my childhood fantasy I saw Santa in his bathing suit Tried to catch a wave, but he tried to soon He laughed so hard that he could barely breathe And washed up next to me He said that you look naughty But I'm sure you're nice He was soaking wet but he cracked a smile With a present in his hand He said it's Christmas in the sand Christmas in the sand, whoa Christmas in the sand, whoa Christmas in the sand, whoa Christmas in the sand, whoa Don't need your winter coat Don't need your winter hat Just grab the one you love And say you're never coming back If you see Santa in his bathing suit Tried to catch a wave, but he tried to soon He laughed so hard that he could barely breathe It's what he did to me He said that you look naughty But I'm sure you're nice He was soaking wet but he cracked a smile With a present in his hand He said it's Christmas in the sand Christmas in the sand, whoa Christmas in the sand, whoa Christmas in the sand, whoa I love Christmas in the sand
