Shake up the happiness
Wake up the happiness
It’s christmas time
There’s a story that I was told
I wanna tell the world before I get too old
And don’t remember it, so let’s December it
And reassemble it, oh yeah
Once upon a time in a town like this
A little girl made a great big wish
To fill the world full of happiness
And be on santa’s magic list
Shake it up
Shake up the happiness
Wake it up
Wake up the happiness
Come on y’all
It’s christmas time
(Shake it up) X2
Shake up the happiness
Wake it up
Wake up the happiness
Come on y’all
It’s christmas time
At the same time miles away
A little boy made a wish that day
That the world would be ok
And santa claus would hear him say:
I got dreams and I got love
I got my feet on the ground
And my family above
Can you send me some happiness
With my best to the rest of the people
Of the east and the west and
Maybe every once in a while
You can just give my Grandma a smile
It is the season to smile
It’s cold but we’ll be freezing in style
Let me meet a boy one day
That wants to spread some love this way
And we can let our souls run free and
And He can open some happiness with me
Shake it up
Shake up the happiness
Wake it up
Wake up the happiness
Come on y’all
It’s christmas time
Shake it up
Shake up the happiness
Wake it up
Wake up the happiness
Come on y’all
It’s christmas time
I know you’re out there
I hear your reindeer
I see the snow where
Your boots have been
I am gonna show them
So they will know then
Your love will grow
And they believe again.
Shake it up
Shake up the happiness
Wake it up
Wake up the happiness
Come on y’all
It’s christmas time
Shake it up
Shake it up
Shake up the happiness
Wake it up
Wake up the happiness
Come on y’all
It’s christmas time
Shake it up
Shake up the happiness
Wake it up
Wake up the happiness
Come on y’all
It’s christmas time
Shake it up
Shake up the happiness
Wake it up
Wake up the happiness
Come on y’all
It’s christmas time
It’s christmas time
