Gonna Eat For Christmas

Gloria Estefan


Rosie: 
Don't want tinsel 
don't want bows 
Don't want Rudolph's 
shiny nose 
I'm gonna eat
for Christmas 

Gloria: 
From my diet 
I will stray 
But I'll workout 
the next day 
(Oh what a shock!) 
Gonna eat 
for Christmas 

Both: 
It's a time 
for giving 
Rosie: 
Won't you give me 
mashed potatoes 
and ham? 
Both: 
It's a time 
for sharing 
Gloria: 
Are you gonna 
polish off 
those yams? 
Rosie: 
You mean these? 
Gloria: 
No? 
Rosie: 
Yes I am 

Rosie: 
I don't say 
this to be nice 
I'll have more 
black beans and rice 
Gonna eat 
for Christmas 

Gloria: 
At the family shindig, 
gonna be 
the Christmas pig 
Both: 
But I'll leave some room 
Gloria:
I'm planning quite a buffet 
Rosie: 
Please don't throw away 
Both: 
That leftover food 
Santa gave us some advice 
To be naughty's very nice 
Cause when you're stuffed 
It'll always feel like 
Christmas to you 

Rosie: 
Oh, 
that was exhausting, 
oh we got a break now? 
Gloria: 
Oh, yeah 
Rosie: 
I am so hungry Glo, 
what'ya got? 
Gloria: 
Put down that sandwich 
Rosie: 
Well, 
do you have anything
Gloria: 
You can't eat now 
Rosie: 
I can eat this now 
Gloria: 
No, there's no time 
Rosie: 
How much time 
do we have? 
Gloria: 
We're almost 
going to sing now.. 
Rosie: 
Let me just.
wait..
I can swallow..
you take 
the first part 
Gloria: 
Get her some water 
for god sake 
Rosie: 
I'll join you, go. 

Gloria: 
There's a twinkle 
in my eye 
For a piece 
of pumpkin pie 
Gonna eat 
for Christmas 

Rosie: 
If I eat 
one more soufflé, 
I won't fit 
in Santa's sleigh 
Both: 
I'll be filled 
with gloom 
Gloria: 
To face the scale 
the next day, 
is no holiday 
Rosie: 
We'll sing 
a different tune 
(you know it) 
Gloria: 
Take advantage 
while we may 
Rosie: 
Let's pig out 
on Christmas day 
Cause 
when you're stuffed 
It'll always feel 
like Christmas 
To you 

Rosie: 
That was fun 
Gloria: 
Whoa, Yeah 
Rosie: 
You know 
there's 
a candy machine 
in the lobby. 
Did you see it? 
No, it's there. 
Gloria: 
I can't believe you 
Rosie: Oy!
