The waiting's finally done

And you gotta get up, you gotta get up, you gotta get up

It's Christmas morning
Last night I heard reindeers on my roof
Well you may think I'm exaggerating but I swear I'm tellin' you the truth
And you gotta get up, you gotta get up, you gotta get up

It's Christmas morning
Refrain:

Did my sister get a baby doll, did my brother get his bike?
D2/F# Dmaj7/F#G2 D/F#
Did I get that red wagon, the kind that makes you fly

Oh I hope there'll be peace on earth, I know there's good will toward men

REFRAIN
Mom and daddy stayed up too late last night
I guess they got carried away in the Christmas candlelight
But you gotta get up, you gotta get up, you gotta get up
It's Christmas morning
Em7 D/F# Gmaj9
And you gotta get up, you gotta get up, you gotta get up
