“Swinging in a Holiday Mood”
Riding through the countryside all covered with snow,
People shopping even when it’s 20 below.
Candy canes are hanging on the evergreen tree.
Cousins singing carols in a colorful key.
Mama’s in the kitchen baking beautiful food
Puts me in a swinging, singing holiday mood.

Bop bop we do bop (Bop ba we do bop)
Singing. Swinging. Singing. Swinging.
Bop bop we do bop (Bop ba we do)
Swinging in a holiday mood.

Goin’ on a sleigh ride on a twinkling night,
All the stars are shining everything is all right.
Toes are almost frozen but the chocolate is hot.
Mistletoe is hanging in an obvious spot,
Everybody’s happy, so I have to conclude.
We’re all in a swinging, singing holiday mood.

Bop bop we do bop (Bop ba we do bop)
Singing. Swinging. Singing. Swinging.
Bop bop we do bop (Bop ba we do)
Swinging in a holiday mood.

Dashing through the snow.
Over the fields we go.
Bells on bobtail ring.

Bop bop we do bop (Bop ba we do bop)
Singing. Swinging. Singing. Swinging.
Bop bop we do bop (Bop ba we do)
Swinging in a holiday mood.

Bop bop we do bop (Bop ba we do bop)
Singing. Swinging. Singing. Swinging.
Bop bop we do bop (Bop ba we do)
Swinging in a holiday mood.
Swinging in a holiday mood.
Swinging in a holiday mood.

Oh, feetFlippin' your fins, you don't get too far. Legs are required for jumpin', dancin'Strollin' along down a. What's that word again? StreetUp where they walk, up where they run, Up where they stay all day in the sunWanderin' free, wish I could be, Part of that worldWhat would I give if I could live out of these waters? What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand?Bet'cha on land they understand. Bet they don't reprimand their daughters. Bright young women, sick of swimmin'Ready to stand. Ready to know what the people know. Ask 'em my questions and get some answersWhat's a fire and why does it, what's the word? Burn? When's it my turn? Wouldn't I loveLove to explore that shore up above?Out of the seaWish I could bePart of that world

"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"

It's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious

If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Um-dittle-ittl-um-dittle-I

solo: Because I was afraid to speak when I was just a lad

Me father gave me nose a tweak, told me I was bad

But then one day I learned a word that saved me achin' nose

The biggest word you ever heard and this is how it goes

Oh, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious

If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Um-dittle-ittl-um-dittle-I

He traveled all around the world and everywhere he went

He'd use his word and all would say there goes a clever gent

When dukes or Maharajas come to pass the time with me

I say me special word and then they ask me out to tea (woo)

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious

If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Um-dittle-ittl-um-dittle-I

Solo: You know you can say it backwards which is

Dociousaliexpisticfragicalirupus

But that's going a bit too far, don't you think?

Indubitably

So when the cat has got your tongue there's no need for dismay

Just summon up this word and then you've got a lot to say

But better use it carefully or it could change your life

One night, I said it to me girl and now me girl's me wife

She's

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
