VERSE 1
I’ve got a proposition, Baby, don’t say no; I bought two tickets so that we can go
I promise you it’s gonna make you smile; hanging out together on a tropical isle
I know I don’t have to ask you twice; let’s spend this Christmas in paradise

VERSE 2
I’ve already checked with the weather man; you can wear your new bikini and show off your tan
We’ll drink rum jumbies ‘til we close our eyes; fall asleep together under clear blue skies
At night we’ll have dinner and champagne on ice; let’s spend this Christmas in paradise

CHORUS
Romance is good by a fireside; or snuggled up together on a sleigh ride
But sunshine and beaches are far more nice; let’s spend this Christmas in paradise

VERSE 3
You said, yes, just like I knew you would; a long vacation will do us good
The magazine read, we should treat ourselves right; relaxation and some bright sunlight
I think it’s best that we take that advice; let’s spend this Christmas in paradise

CHORUS
Romance is good by a fireside; or snuggled up together on a sleigh ride
But sunshine and beaches are far more nice; let’s spend this Christmas in paradise

VERSE 4
So pack your suitcase and go with me; two chairs are waiting under a palm tree
The sand is white and the water is clear; the weather is perfect every day of the year
No matter what it cost, I’ll pay the price; let’s spend this Christmas in paradise

CHORUS
Romance is good by a fireside; or snuggled up together on a sleigh ride
But sunshine and beaches are far more nice; let’s spend this Christmas in paradise
