[Intro]
Ho, ho, ho
Shake up the happiness, wake up the happiness
Shake up the happiness
It's Christmas time

[Verse 1]
There's a story that I was told
And I wanna tell the world before I get too old
And don't remember it, so let's December it
And reassemble it, oh yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Once upon a time in a town like this
A little girl made a great big wish
To fill the world full of happiness
And be on Santa's magic list

[Chorus]
Shake it up, shake up the happiness
Wake it up, wake up the happiness
Come on y'all
It's Christmas time
Shake it up, shake up the happiness
Wake it up, wake up the happiness
Come on y'all
It's Christmas time
Ho, Ho, Ho
Ho, Ho, Ho
It's Christmas time

[Verse 2]
At the same time miles away
A little boy made a wish that day
That the world would be okay
And Santa Claus would hear him say:
"I got dreams, and I got love
I got my feet on the ground, and family above
Can you send some happiness with my best to the rest
Of the people of the East and the West and
Maybe every once in a while you
Give my grandma a reason to smile
'Tis the season of smile
It's cold but we'll be freezing in style

[Pre-Chorus]
Let me meet a girl one day that
Wants to spread some love this way
We can let our souls run free and
She can open some happiness with me"

[Chorus]
Shake it up, shake up the happiness
Wake it up, wake up the happiness
Come on y'all
It's Christmas time
Shake it up, shake up the happiness
Wake it up, wake up the happiness
Come on y'all
It's Christmas time

[Bridge]
I know you're out there, I hear your reindeer
I see the snow where your boots have been
I'm gonna show them, so they will know then
Their love will grow and they believe again

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

[Outro]
Ho, ho, ho
Ho, ho, ho
Ho, ho, ho
It's Christmas time

Train

Train is an American rock band from San Francisco, formed in 1993. The band currently consists of Patrick Monahan (lead vocals), Luis Maldonado (guitar), Hector Maldonado (bass, vocals), Drew Shoals (drums), Jerry Becker (keyboards, guitar), Sakai Smith (backup vocals), and Nikita Houston (backup vocals).

With a lineup that included original members Monahan, Rob Hotchkiss, Jimmy Stafford, Scott Underwood, and Charlie Colin, the band achieved mainstream success with their debut album Train, which was released in 1998 with the hit “Meet Virginia”. Train’s 2001 album, Drops of Jupiter contained the lead single “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)”, which won two Grammy Awards in 2002. The album was certified double platinum in the United States and Canada and remains the band’s best-selling album to date.

Train’s third studio album, My Private Nation, released in 2003, was certified platinum in the United States with the hit “Calling All Angels”. Following the departures of Hotchkiss and Colin, the band released their fourth album, For Me, It’s You in 2006, with Brandon Bush (keyboards) and Johnny Colt (bass). Despite a generally positive reception from critics, the album was commercially unsuccessful. Because of this, Train went on a two-year hiatus from recording any new music.
