C Em
i wish you happy christmas
F
i do dear , i do
Dm
i wish for you the stars , babe
G
i wish for you the moon
Em
you can sit , and you can drink your champagne
Am
with your gibbering gum
Dm
i hope he’s being good to you
G
i do dear , i do

ain’t no whirlwind below your wing
wish that you will keep safe
up there in your leather babe
with your ivory and ( ? )

things down here are fragmatic
fragmatic , exploding all over the room
i think everything’s a little off – center , babe
i do dear , i do

you said , that to love me you must set me free
now , that may all be very well
still i miss you baby
more than words can ever tell

sometimes i can not sleep
the greatness of my hate for you
sometimes i can not sleep
for i miss you

your davey is bright as the eyes
the girl at the hive wants you
may your sun be happy yellow , babe
and your sky be baby blue

i miss your manic scratches
and your howling at the moon
ten steps behind me
with your dustpan and bird

i hope you wish for me
all the things i wish for you
health , hope and happiness
the sun and the moon

say hello to the one
who really don’t have a clue
i’ll be calling you soon
i think i love you

i do dear , i do .
