Carolina Christmas
Squirrel Nut Zippers · Other Songs - Squirrel Nut Zippers
The snow is falling down
Up in some northern town
But a Carolina Christmas
Is still the best around
Wrap up your teddy bear
Hang your stockings up with care
It's a Carolina Christmas
We're chillin' in our underwear!
Well old st. nick's got a bag of tricks
And he's comin' 'round after 'while
This must be his favorite haunt
'Cause we always do it up in style!
Grandma's got the fiddle.
And grandpa's got the bass.
When it's Christmas in Carolina
It's Christmas all over the place
Grandma's got the fiddle
And grandpa's got the bass
When it's Christmas in Carolina
It's Christmas all over the place
Yes boy, get that stocking out o' yer mouth!"
