E
If someone told me it was Christmas Day
I would say, "No way, what kind of
game you playing?"
    A
My feets in the sand, the sun's got
           E
a plan to make me tan
    B                   A                  E
Oh, all I know is the snow can take a holiday

Chorus:
E
Now, now, now, now, now
When you get here Margarita wine
Just don't forget the lime
And if you're feeling so
      A                              E
This mistletoe ain’t got nowhere to go, no, no
 B                A                         E
High Sierra, goodbye, Christmas Island, hello
Ho ho ho ho ho

(Ooh)
Alright (Hey)
(Ooh)
Oh, the lights, the light
(Hey, High Sierra, goodbye, Christmas Island, hello)

The way I see it, give me Mexico or Hawaii, though
Costa Rica, yo
December summer fun when you're lying in
the pouring sun
I just wanna go where the snow don't know no one
No, no, no, no, no

Chorus:
If you're coming, I'll pick up the bill
Just don't bring no chill, that's unless you will
A Christmas summer chill with an island flow
Oh, High Sierra, goodbye, Christmas Island, hello
Ho ho ho ho ho

(Ooh)
Alright (Hey)
(Ooh)
(Hey, High Sierra, goodbye, Christmas Island, hello)

Give me Christmas on an island, on an island,
see me smiling
Take me from the mountain, from the mountain
From the mountain, hear me shouting
Come on, see me smiling
Take me back to Christmas Island
Ho ho ho ho ho

(Ooh)
(Hey)
(Ooh)
We'll be alright
(Hey, High Sierra, goodbye, Christmas Island, hello)
Oh, let's go together now, let's go together now
(Ooh)
Yeah, December, got to say (Hey)
(Ooh)
Everything gonna be alright, together like
(Hey, High Sierra, goodbye, Christmas Island, hello)
Oh, put your feet in the sand now
(High Sierra, goodbye, Christmas Island, hello)
Going to the island now, now
(High Sierra, goodbye) Christmas Island, hello
