Bahamian Christmas--Lyrics
By Anne Fresco and David Washington
CHORUS
It’s Christmas
In the Bahamas.
It’s Christmas
Around the world.
VERSE 1
Boys and girls are sleeping,
Dreaming of the joy of
Christmas morning.
Mom and Dad are creeping,
Making sure they won’t
be disappointed.
Promises are made
To awakening souls.
With the dawning day
Bells begin to ding-dong,
ding-dong, ding.
CHORUS
VERSE 2
While the earth is sleeping
Waiting for the light of
Christmas morning,
Angels all are singing
Of the life that’s newly born
within us.
Promises are made
To awakening souls,
With the dawning day
Bells begin to dingdong,
dingdong, ding.
CHORUS
It’s Christmas (Christmas time)
In the Bahamas (‘Round the world).
It’s Christmas (Christmas time)
Around the world (‘Round the world).
It’s Christmas (Christmas time)
In the Bahamas (‘Round the world).
It’s Christmas (Christmas time)
Around the world (‘Round the world).
OUTRO
Ding-dong, ding-dong,
Ding-dong, ding-dong,
Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong.
