Verse 
C 
I want a new baby for Christmas 
                         G7 
The one with long pretty hair 

I can stand to kiss her 

And I know I'll never miss her 
                           C 
Because she will always be there 


Now I don't want this old baby for Christmas 
   C7                       F 
So Santa you know she's not true 

She kissed me on a hay ride 
    C 
And took me for a sleigh ride 
     G7                           C 
Then turned my white Christmas to blue 

    F                   C 
The people are happy at Christmas time 
    G7                           C 
The children they're jumpin' all around 
      F                          C 
And I don't wanna be left out on all of the fun 
   D7                     G7 
So Santa don't you let me down 

C 
I want a new baby for Christmas 
   C7                            F 
So don't you bring me one that's untrue 

She’ll kiss me on a hay ride 
    C 
And take me for a sleigh ride 
    G7                         C 
And turn my white Christmas to blue
