I'D Rather Remember Christmas In July

I’d Rather Remember Christmas In July Because we cannot rely that you’ll be alive beyond July, this year let’s have Christmas in Hawaii and in the month of July. What a high that will be to scuba with Santa and ride waves that seem a mile wide. Let’s kiss under the mistletoe, Not in the snow drinking a cup of Joe, But on the Hawaiian pier watching the undertow Wearing our bikinis, swim trunks and flip flops, Instead of our worn out matching house robes. This year instead of presents, Let’s give each other flowered leighs, And besides watching for Santa’s sleigh, We’ll scout for him hanging ten on a huge wave. Usually a yuletide carol is sweet in December, But won’t it be bitter sweet when we look back and remember Don Ho strumming his Hawaiian Christmas songs under a beach cabana Where everyone’s legs are long, tan and limber? It’s spending Christmas with you in Hawaii in July that I would rather remember When you’re gone in December.
