[English]

We got some mistletoe

Hung from the bow of the boat

Stockings are filled with sunshine rays

It's Christmas in Blue Chair Bay

There's lights up in every palm

My soul like the sea is calm

Tonight we're going to the boat parade

It's Christmas in Blue Chair Bay

Everybody raise a glass

With me right now

To all of those up in the snow

From all of us down South

Tis the season for believin'

In faith and family

Wish you were here with me

We cleared out a place in the sand

For Dancer and Prancer to land

We saved the boat slip for Santa's sleigh

It's Christmas in Blue Chair Bay

Everybody raise a glass

With me right now

To all of those up in the snow

From all of us down South

Tis the season for believin'

In faith and family

Wish you were here with me

By the sea, a little numb

From drinking rum

Oh I think I'll sit right here

Pray for a peaceful year

Lots of love Happy Holidays to you

From Blue Chair Bay

Merry Christmas from Blue Chair Bay

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la

Lots of love Happy Holidays to you

From Blue Chair Bay

Merry Christmas from Blue Chair Bay
