Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

This year for Christmas

 There's something I'd really like

 So if you're up there somewhere Santa

 Please don't bring me another bike

 I don't need any ugly sweaters

 And I don't play much basketball

 But there's something kind of special

 That I want most of all

Chorus

 I want an alien for Christmas

 Bring me an alien this year

 I want a little green guy, about three feet high

 With seventeen eyes, who knows how to fly

 I want an alien for Christmas this year

Verse 2

(same chords from verse 1)

He can live in the bathtub

So don't worry about a thing

And I'll take him out for walks

When it gets nicer in the spring

I'll always keep him company

He'll never be alone

You can hang around the house all day

And watch the twilight zone

Chorus

Interlude

Last Chorus:

 I want an alien for Christmas

 Bring me an alien this year

 I want a little green guy, about three feet high

 With seventeen eyes, who knows how to fly

 I want an alien for Christmas this year

 I want an alien for Christmas this year
