Lyrics
C
It's Christmastime in Texas!
F C
Lights adorn live oak trees
C D7 G
Antlers are sprouting from pink SUV's
C F C
Red noses guide pickups with huge screen TV's
C G7 C
Yippie! It's Christmastime in Texas!
It's Christmastime in Texas!
There's a thrill in the air
Texans out shopping are loaded for bear
Sales are devoured and shelves are laid bare
Yippie! It's Christmastime in Texas!
G7 C
It might not be sweet postcard snow scenes
G7 C
It may not be Currier & Ives
E Am
But Christmas in Texas is Christmas
D7 G G7
You can see it in everyone's eyes
It's Christmastime in Texas!
On front lawn arrays
Light bulb-webbed reindeer leap up on their way
Even drivers are friendly - at least for a day
Yippie! It's Christmastime in Texas!
