The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is a fantastic start to the holiday season. Full of a lot of laughs, some of the best parts are the music and lyrics! Here are the lyrics to a couple of the songs in The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, including an original collab with James Gunn and the Old 97’s.
Lyrics to the Original Songs from The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special
James Gunn collaborated with the Old 97’s to write a new song, titled I Don’t Know What Christmas Is (But Christmastime is Here. It’s my favorite song in the special and makes me laugh like many of the quotes from The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.
Gunn also recorded a new version of “Here It Is Christmastime” by the Old 97’s with Kevin Bacon providing lead vocals.
The first song that I love was performed by Bzermikitokolok (head of the aliend band on Knowhere) and bandmates (aka The Old 97’s).
I Don’t Know What Christmas Is (But Christmastime Is Here) Lyrics
Out on the third planet closest to the sun
There’s a special celebration
And it sounds quite fun
A jolly old fellow brings toys to everyone
On a holiday they call Christmas
Now I’m not gonna lie
It makes no sense to me
But here’s what I’ve discovered about this Christmas mystery
One, two, three, four!
Santa is a furry freak with epic superpowers
He flies to every human home in under 14 hours
He’s a master burglar
A pro at picking locks
If you don’t leave milk and cookies out
He will put dung in your socks
If you act nicely through the night
And don’t jump on your bed
Santa comes with sugar plums and hurls them at your head
But if you’re on his naughty list
He shoots missiles at your toes
He might just roast your chestnuts
With his powerful flamethrower
Rein, rein, rein, rein, rein
Deer, deer, deer, deer, deer
I don’t know what Christmas is
But Christmastime is here
He’s compelled his creepy elves to do his every wish
One sought to be a dentist
Now he’s sleeping with the fish
Mrs. Claus, she works the pole
Plans her man’s demise
Soon the elves will all rise up
And stab out Santa’s eyes
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
Earthlings are so weird
I don’t know what Christmas is
But Christmastime is here
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
Earthlings are so weird
I don’t know what Christmas is
But Christmastime is here
What the heck’s a turtledove?
And who lit up that deer?
I don’t know what Christmas is
But Christmastime is here
I don’t know what Christmas is
But Christmastime is here
Or maybe it’s there
Or it’s somewhere
I don’t know
Here It Is Christmastime Lyrics
Performed by Kevin Bacon and Bzermikitokolok and bandmates (aka the Old 97’s)
Lyrics
When we are born
We are swaddled and snuggled
Whispered to, fussed over
Tickled and cuddled
When we grow up things get muddled
And here it is Christmastime
Will you stop by for a piece of delicious peach pie?
While I tell you my yuletide wishes
You can help me do the dishes
‘Cause here it is Christmastime
And we all want someone
Who will love us and hold us
To curl up alongside
When nights are the coldest
And we all want someone
Who will hug us and kiss us
All I want is you for Christmas
Let us examine the holiday spirit
Let the small kids sing so we can all hear it
Light up a fire and pull the chair near it
‘Cause here it is Christmastime
We all want someone
Who will love us and hold us
To curl up alongside
When nights are the coldest
And we all want someone
Who will hug us and kiss us
All I want is you for Christmas
[instrumental]
When we are born we are swaddled and snuggled
Whispered to, fussed over
Tickled and cuddled
And when we grow up things get muddled
And here it is Christmastime
And we all want someone
Who will love us and hold us
To curl up alongside
When nights are the coldest
And we all want someone
Who will hug us and kiss us
All I want is you for Christmas
All I want is you for Christmas
All I want is you for Christmas
