with family and friends and gifts of love and joy and peace.
The children wait for Santa Claus in hopes he’ll soon be there
upon the roof with a sack of toys, his sled and his eight reindeer.
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up go!

Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up go!
Visiting children everywhere.
When Christmas is in Old England we’ll eat our mincemeat pie
and bells will ring from every tower just about midnight.

but other gifts are then exchanged on a very special day.
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up go!
I travel from here to there.
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up go!
Visiting children everywhere.
When Christmas is in Mexico they fill their shoes with grain.

Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up go!
I travel from here to there.
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up go!
Visiting children everywhere.
When Christmas in in Germany they decorate their tree
with wooden toys and gingerbread for everyone to see.

and the children carry a golden star and sing all through the streets.
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up go!
I travel from here to there.
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up go!
Visiting children everywhere.
