written by Ross Bagdasarian, Sr. (a.k.a. David Seville) in 1958. Although it was written and sung by Bagdasarian (in the form of a high-pitched chipmunk voice), the singing credits are given to The Chipmunks, a fictitious singing group consisting of three chipmunks by the names of Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. The song won three Grammy Awards in 1958: Best Comedy Performance, Best Children's Recording, and Best Engineered Record (non-classical).
Christmas, Christmas time is near,
G6
Time for toys and time for cheer.
Am7 D7 Am7 D7
We’ve been good, but we can’t last,
Am7 D7 G G6
Hurry, Christmas, hurry fast!
G G6 G G6
Want a plane that loops the loop;
G7 C
Me, I want a hula hoop.
C Cm G E7
We can hardly stand the wait,
Am7 D7 G
Please Christmas, don’t be late.
Me, I want a hula hoop.
C Cm G E7
We can hardly stand the wait,
Am7 D7 G
Please Christmas, don’t be late.
