You Gotta Get Up (Christmas Song)

Rich Mullins · A Liturgy, A Legacy & A Ragamuffin Band [1993]

"I thought Christmas Day would never come

But it's here at last so mom and dad the waiting's finally done

And you gotta get up ~ you gotta get up ~ you gotta get up

It's Christmas morning



Last night I heard reindeers on my roof

Well you may think I'm exaggerating but I swear I'm tellin' you the truth

And you gotta get up ~ you gotta get up ~ you gotta get up

It's Christmas morning



Did my sister get a baby doll? Did my brother get his bike?

Did I get that red wagon the kind that makes you fly?

Oh I hope there'll be peace on earth

I know there's good will toward men

On account of that Baby born in Bethlehem



Did my sister get her baby doll? Did my brother get his bike?

Did I get that red wagon the kind that makes you fly?

Oh I hope there'll be peace on earth

I know there's good will toward men

On account of that Baby born in Bethlehem



Mom and Daddy stayed up too late last night

Oh I guess they got carried away in the Christmas candlelight

And you gotta get up ~ you gotta get up ~ you gotta get up

It's Christmas morning



And you gotta get up ~ you gotta get up ~ you gotta get up"
