[Verse 1: Ernest Tubb & The Three Troubadettes]
How'd you like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island?
How'd you like to spend a holiday away across the sea?
How'd you like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island?
How'd you like to hang your stocking on a great big coconut tree?
How'd you like to stay up late like the islanders do?
Wait for Santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe
If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island
You will never stray, for every day, your Christmas dreams come true
[Verse 2: The Three Troubadettes, Ernest Tubb & Both]
How'd you like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island?
How'd you like to spend a holiday away across the sea?
How'd you like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island?
How'd you like to hang your stocking on a great big coconut tree?
How'd you like to stay up late like the islanders do?
Wait for Santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe (in a canoe)
If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island
You will never stray, for every day, your Christmas dreams come true
