Christmas In July   

On a hot sunny day the Colonel said to the King,
Son I’ve got some Christmas songs for you to sing,
Well the King looked up from his plate of food,
And said Colonel you know I ain’t in the holiday mood,
The Colonel said hey boy so neither am I,
It don’t seem right to have Christmas in July.

Christmas in July my oh my Christmas in July,
Bing Crosby might have to do it but why should I.

But the Colonel said to Elvis what about the fans,
And I’ve got some big contractual demands,
There’s something here you gotta remember,
You sing carols in the summer for folks in December,
The King looked ol' Tom Parker right in the eye and said,
I guess it’s time for Christmas in July.

Christmas in July my oh my Christmas in July,
If Johnny Mathis has to do it so can I,
Get me some red suede shoes and a green Cadillac,
Bake me a ham candied yams call the Jordanaires back,
Let’s have a rockin’ rollin’ Christmas in July.
		
So ol’ Elvis sang some tinsel tunes for all of you,
About holidays he’d had both white and blue,
Of Santa Claus and of pretty paper,
And of little baby Jesus away in the manger,
As he sang that song he hung his head and cried,
He missed his momma that Christmas in July.

Christmas in July my oh my Christmas in July,
If Jerry Lee Lewis has to do this so can I.
Get me some red suede shoes and a green Cadillac,
Bake me a ham candied yams call the Jordanaires back,
Let’s have a rockin’ rollin’ Christmas in July.

Deck the halls with boughs of holly string up the lights let’s get jolly,
And have a rockin’ rollin’ Christmas in July.
