Shake Hands With Santa ClausThe Goo Goo Dolls

Released: October 30, 2020

Songwriter: Milton De Lugg Bob Hilliard

If you want some candy, I'll bring you the candy
Shake hands with Santa Claus
I love you, I love you and I'm going to bring
Some candy and flowers and everything

If berries are pleasing when they're out of season
Shake hands with Santa Claus
I love you, I love you and I'd walk a mile
To bring you the berries and watch you smile

Oh just to share a love like yours
What miracles I could do
I'd make a rainbow chase a storm
The weather gets cold I'll make it warm

If you want a cottage, I'll furnish the cottage
Shake hands with Santa Claus
I love you, I love you I give you my all
I'm like the genie at your beck and call
If you do the dreaming, I'll do the scheming
Shake hands with Santa Claus

Oh just to win a love like yours
I'd follow you to Capri
I'd kiss you on the streets of Rome
Then we'd eat scungilli then fly back home

If you want bananas, some great big bananas
Shake hands with Santa Claus
I love you, I love you and I'm gonna bring
Bananas, pianos and everything
If you do the dreaming, I'll do the scheming
Shake hands shake hands shake hands
With Santa Claus
Santa Claus
Santa Claus
Santa Claus

The Goo Goo Dolls

The Goo Goo Dolls are an American rock band formed in 1986 in Buffalo, NY, during one of Buffalo’s most prolific underground music phases. The band was formed by John Rzeznik (Also known as Johnny Rzeznik), lead singer and songwriter for the band, with bassist/vocalist Robby Takac, and drummer George Tutuska. Mike Malinin later replaced Tutuska as the band’s drummer.

The band has released twelve studio albums between 1986 and 2017, but they are best known for platinum-selling A Boy Named Goo (1995) and Dizzy Up the Girl (1998). These mid- to late 1990s albums contain the Goo Goo Dolls' biggest hits to date – Name and Iris most notably, but also Slide, Black Balloon, and Dizzy

These hits made the Goo Goo Dolls a household name for radio-friendly “prom night power balladry” (as one Rolling Stone review put it), but the band’s early output was often far rougher musically, melding the band’s edgier punk influences with an often soft sensibility in the mold of the band’s early heroes, The Replacements. One can hear these influences on many songs on A Boy Named Goo though these affinities would fade after Dizzy Up the Girl.
