lyrics

Spring is in the air
The nights are getting warmer as we speak
The days of candy canes and sugar plums
Have long been put to sleep
(But you're still sweet)
And as the fire plays upon
Your scarlet dress and emerald eyes
I feel the moon begin to rise

There's no more egg nog in the icebox
So we share a box of wine
(Why does it always taste so smooth)
Lying on the bearskin rug
The cold canned oysters were divine
And on the radio Bing Crosby
Has been turned to Barry White
(And if it puts you in the mood)
You'll make the naughty list tonight

CHORUS:
I know it isn't Christmas
But tonight you're on my wish list
You know just what the gift is
So let's get down to business
I know it isn't snowing
And it's too late for mistletoe-ing
My chestnuts have been roasting, so
Tonight I hope you open up your fire

Dimmed the lights and lit the candles
Made the sleigh bed just in case
(Slap on some Brut by Faberge)
And like two turtle doves
We share our innuendos face to face
As the night is winding down
You put your hand upon my knee
(It looks as if you're going to stay)
I cannot wait to put you underneath my tree

I know it isn't Christmas
But tonight you're on my wish list
You know just what the gift is
So let's get down to business
I know it isn't snowing
And it's too late for mistletoe-ing
My chestnuts have been roasting, so
Tonight I hope you open up your fire
