Chorus:  
     G 
It's Christmas in the Caribbean; 
C                  G 
Snowbirds fill the air. 
 
It's Christmas in the Caribbean; 
C                     D7 
Lots of presents everywhere. 
C                  G 
We don't live in a hurry; 
C                   D7 
Send away for mistletoe. 
     G 
It's Christmas in the Caribbean; 
    C    D7 
Got everything but snow. 
 
 
D                         G 
Lights are blowing in the palm trees; 
D                          G 
Stockings hanging from the mast. 
Em                C 
Santa riding on a dolphin. 
D 
Don't you want to make it, 
D7                        G 
Don't you want to make it last? 
 
Chorus:  
It's Christmas in the Caribbean; 
Snowbirds fill the air. 
It's Christmas in the Caribbean; 
Lots of presents everywhere. 
We don't live in a hurry; 
Send away for mistletoe. 
It's Christmas in the Caribbean; 
Got everything but snow. 
Snow!?  
 
Suntanned children sleeping; 
Hoping Santa will come true. 
Christmas morning marlin leaping. 
Oh it's Papa's birthday, 
Mister Buffett's birthday too! 
 
Chorus  
 
Christmas in the Caribbean; 
Got everything but snow. 
(Repeat and fade)
