This year for Christmas
There's something I'd really like
So if you're up there somewhere Santa
Please don't bring me another bike 

I don't need any ugly sweaters
And I don't play much basketball
But there's something kinda special
That I want most of all 

I want an alien for Christmas
Bring me an alien this year
I want a little green guy
About three feet high
With seventeen eyes 

Who knows how to fly
I want an alien for Christmas this year 

He can live in the bath tub
So don't worry about a thing
And I'll take him out for walks
When it gets nicer in the Spring 

I'll always keep him company
He'll never be alone
And we can hang around the house all day
And watch the Twilight Zone 

I want an alien for Christmas
Bring me an alien this year
I want a little green guy 

About three feet high
With seventeen eyes
Who knows how to fly
I want an alien for Christmas this year 

I want an alien for Christmas
Bring me an alien this year
I want a little green guy
About three feet high
With seventeen eyes 

Who knows how to fly
I want an alien for Christmas this year
I want an alien for Christmas this year
