When Christmas is in America lyrics

When Christmas is in America it’s time for a song and feast

with family and friends and gifts of love and joy and peace.

The children wait for Santa Claus in hopes he’ll soon be there

upon the roof with a sack of toys, his sled and his eight reindeer.

Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up go!

I travel from here to there.

Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up go!

Visiting children everywhere.

When Christmas is in Old England we’ll eat our mincemeat pie

and bells will ring from every tower just about midnight.

Father Christmas leaves his gifts around the fireplace

but other gifts are then exchanged on a very special day.

Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up go!

I travel from here to there.

Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up go!

Visiting children everywhere.

When Christmas is in Mexico they fill their shoes with grain.

They put them out on a window ledge on the Three King’s Day

and when they sleep the Magi will come and his camels will eat the grain.

He’ll leave some candy and trinkets too, just like they do in Spain.

Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up go!

I travel from here to there.

Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up go!

Visiting children everywhere.

When Christmas in in Germany they decorate their tree

with wooden toys and gingerbread for everyone to see.

Kris Kringle is the bearer of gifts and nuts and apples and sweets

and the children carry a golden star and sing all through the streets.

Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up go!

I travel from here to there.

Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up go!

Visiting children everywhere.
