The mood is right
The spirit's up
We're here tonight
And that's enough

Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

The party's on
The feelin's here
That only comes
This time of year

Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

The choir of children sing their song
They practiced all year long
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding

Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

The word is out
About the town
To lift a glass
Ah don't look down

Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

The choir of children sing their song
They practiced all year long
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding

Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

A wonderful Christmastime
Merry Christmas

Jimmy Buffett

James William Buffett (25 December 1946 -) was born in Pascagoula, Mississippi. He moved to Nashville to pursue a career as a country singer, and signed his first record contract in 1970.

After two early solo album failures, Buffet moved to Key West in the early 1970s. He got another album deal with ABC-Dunhill, who published A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean in 1973. The album was a hit and Buffet’s laid-back performance style drew fans, lots of them dressed in Hawaiian shirts, calling themselves “Parrotheads.”

Buffet describes his music as “Gulf and Western”, a blend of the country & western and folk rock he grew up with, flavored with the themes of the Gulf coast. It’s served him well over the years, resulting in over two dozen albums, and continues to record and tour. He’s also published three No. best selling books.
