Where would you like to be on your Christmas Day? Look outside through the rain at the city grey Maybe we'll, just for once, up and fly away Heading south to the sun where the dolphins play Now there's crackers and there's maracas As we party on the beach Drink coladas under the palm leaves Lit up like a Christmas tree Now there's crackers and there's maracas As we party on the beach Drink coladas under the palm leaves Lit up like a Christmas tree Feel the sun, feel the sand in between your toes Now there's too many people and too few clothes Not a cloud in the sky, just the song of birds So we'll dance 'til the dark in the rolling surf Now there's crackers and there's maracas As we party on the beach Drink coladas under the palm leaves Lit up like a Christmas tree Now there's crackers and there's maracas As we party on the beach Drink coladas under the palm leaves Lit up like a Christmas tree Fly away, maybe we'll fly away Maybe we'll fly away for Christmas Day But it feels a bit strange to be frank with you 'Stead of turkey and sprouts eating barbecue And they still use the same iconography Ads with Santa and snow play in boiling heat Now there's crackers and there's maracas As we party on the beach Drink coladas under the palm leaves Lit up like a Christmas tree Now there's crackers and there's maracas As we party on the beach Drink coladas under the palm leaves Lit up like a Christmas tree
