Beneath The Tree

parody of Bobby Darin’s version of Beyond The Sea

parody lyrics by Joel Kopischke © 2005

Somewhere under the tree
My presents are waitin’ for me
Every gift that’s on my list, hey
Our stockings are full—all from Santa

Somewhere beyond that tree 
He’s there by the chimney
If we could fly like reindeer on high
Then straight to his sled, we’d find Santa

You know he’s far by the north pole
He’s near down at the mall
I know beyond a doubt
That we will get it all

If not we’ll meet down at the store
We’ll shop like never before (5, 6, 7, 8)
For presents to be beneath the tree
And never again we’ll ask Santa

(instrumental)

I know, yes I know, beyond a d-o-u-t
That you and me will get it all

We’ll meet down the street at the boutique 
where it’s sweet, mm, and we’ll buy each other a treat
Goodies for we beneath the swingin’ old tree
And never again we’ll ask Santa

No no, bye bye
