Christmas Cookies

I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe

The ones that look like Santa Claus, Christmas trees, and bells and stars

I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe

Now Christmas cookies are a special treat The more she bakes, the more I eat

And sometimes I can't get myself to stop.

Sometimes she'll wait till I'm asleep,

and then she'll take ones that I didn't eat

and put those little sprinkly things on.

I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar.

I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe.

The ones that look like Santa Claus, Christmas trees with bells and stars, I sure do like

those Christmas cookies, babe.

Those sprinkly things just make things worse, 'cause it makes 'em taste better than they

did at first, and they're absolutely impossible to resist.

I sew 'em disappear to God knows where, I make sure that I get my share, and those kids

It's just stand there waitin' for the ones I miss.

♫ I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar

♫ Sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe

♫ As she gets mad that they're all gone

♫ Before she gets the icing on

♫ Sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe

Now there's a benefit to all of this

that you might have overlooked or missed.

So now let me tell you the best part of it all.

Every time she sticks another batch in the oven,

there's 15 minutes for some kissing and some loving.

That's why I eat Christmas cookies all year long.
