[Verse 1]There's a story that I was toldAnd I wanna tell the world before I get too oldAnd don't remember it, so let's December itAnd reassemble it, oh yeahOnce upon a time in a town like thisA little girl made a great big wishTo fill the world full of happinessAnd be on Santa's magic list

[Chorus]Shake it up, shake up the happinessWake it up, wake up the happinessCome on, y'allIt's Christmas timeShake it up, shake up the happinessWake it up, wake up the happinessCome on, y'allIt's Christmas time

[Verse 2]At the same time miles awayA little boy made a wish that dayThat the world would be okayAnd Santa Claus would hear him say:"I got dreams and I got loveI got my feet on the ground and family aboveCan you send some happiness with my bestTo the rest of the people of the East and the WestAnd maybe every once in a whileYou give my grandma a reason to smile'Tis the season to smileIt's cold, but we'll be freezing in styleAnd let me meet a girl one dayThat wants to spread some love this wayWe can let our souls run freeAnd she can open some happiness with me"

[Chorus]Shake it up, shake up the happinessWake it up, wake up the happinessCome on, y'allIt's Christmas timeShake it up, shake up the happinessWake it up, wake up the happinessCome on, y'allIt's Christmas time

[Chorus]Shake it up, shake it up, shake up the happinessWake it up, wake up the happinessCome on, y'allIt's Christmas timeShake it up, shake up the happinessWake it up, wake up the happinessCome on, y'allIt's Christmas time

[Interlude]Ho, ho, hoHo, ho, hoIt's Christmas time (Ho, ho, ho)

[Chorus]Shake it up, shake up the happiness (Ho, ho, ho)Wake it up, wake up the happiness (Ho, ho, ho)Come on y'allIt's Christmas time (Ho, ho, ho)Shake it up, shake up the happiness (Ho, ho, ho)Wake it up, wake up the happiness (Ho, ho, ho)Come on y'allIt's Christmas time
