Don't Mess with the Cookies for Christmas

Don’t Mess with the Cookies for Christmas

Everybody’s getting’ ready for Christmas
Been waitin’ for it all year
Got the cookies bakin’ in the oven
For when Santa comes here

Now he’s been workin’ hard, all night long
And he needs a little somethin’ to eat
So no matter what, what ever you do
Keep your hand off those tasty treats

And don’t mess with the cookies for Christmas
Yeah, Santa won’t like that very much
He’ll shimmy on down the chimney
And leave nothin’ but a bag of coal for us
I know those chocolate chips never smelled so sweet
And I don’t mean to make a fuss
But if you want Santa here this year
You don’t mess with the cookies for Christmas

Grandpa’s got his eggnog
Auntie Mae’s got her apple pie
Uncle Jimmy’s got a sweet tooth
But even he knows not to try
Momma’s in the kitchen, Daddy’s outside
Hangin’ lights up in the cold
All just to keep their minds off of cookies
That’s because they all know…

And don’t mess with the cookies for Christmas
Yeah, Santa won’t like that very much
He’ll shimmy on down the chimney
And leave nothin’ but a bag of coal for us
I know those chocolate chips never smelled so sweet
And I don’t mean to make a fuss
But if you want Santa here this year
You don’t mess with the cookies for Christmas
