Nobody mentioned this little gem....

CHRISTMAS TIME
Larry Norman

Santa Claus is comin' and the kids are gettin' greedy
(Ow! all right!) It's Christmastime.
And they know it's in the stores because they seen it on the TV
(I said) It's Christmastime.

(similar ad-lib exclamations on the repeat lines - "all right," "I said," "yeow," "uh-huh" and so forth)

Well, you go into the forest and you cut down all the trees
It's Christmastime.
I know you got a power saw, but who plants the seeds?
It's Christmastime.

It used to be the birthday of a man who saved our necks
It's Christmastime.
But now it stands for Santa Claus, and spell it with an "X"
It's Christmastime.

Whoa whoa whoa it's Christmas time
Whoa whoa baby
Whoa whoa whoa it's Christmas time
Whoa whoa baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Now I gotta buy a present, can't remember who it's for
It's Christmastime.
But I'll see you in an hour when I get back from the store
It's Christmastime.

Whoa whoa whoa it's Christmas time
Whoa whoa baby
Whoa whoa whoa it's Christmas time
Whoa whoa baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
