🎤 Lyrics:
[Pam:]
This holiday
You’ll be far away
And I’ll be here at home
So please remember
This December
To fully charge your phone
And
Text me Merry Christmas
Let me know you care
Just a word or two
Of text from you
Will remind me you’re still there
You don’t have to add much to it
One smiley face will do
Come on, text me Merry Christmas
Cause I’m really missing you
[Lennard:]
Text me Merry Christmas
Make my holiday complete
Though you’re far from me
since you’re overseas
That’s a text I’ll never delete
Choose just the right emoji
One that makes me lol
And if you send me something ugly
I promise I won’t tell
[Pam and Lennard:]
I don’t care if you spell things right!
I just want to hear from you tonight
Tap those keys with your delicate touch
And type those little words that mean so much!
[Cza and Kent:]
A facebook message isn’t quite as sweet
[Cza:]
I need more from @you
than just a tweet
[Kent:]
A stream on kumu doesn’t last
[Cza and Kent:]
And voicemail? That’s from Christmas past
Text me Merry Christmas
Send a selfie too
If you do, I’ll go
Near our big parol
And pretend I’m here with you
[Pam and Lennard:]
Show me that you love me
Text xo to kiss and hug me
I’ll be right here waiting
For my phone to start vibrating
Come on text me Merry Christmas
And I will text you too This Christmas
It’s the least that we can do …
Maligayang Pasko!
