[Verse 1]
                 D           A            D
Well there's a twenty pound turkey in the oven
               G                    D
and there's a big old log upon the fire.
 G                          D              Bm
Mama's a-runnin' 'round in her new frilly gown,
 D                  A             D
Daddy's dressed in Santa Claus attire.

[Verse 2]
         D          A                  D
All the kids hang stockings near the chimney
            G                                       D
and in the livin' room there stands an old Spruce tree.
      G                              D      Bm
What causes this family's strange behavior.
   D                    A                D  D7
I guess it's just that time of year you see.

[Chorus]
     G                 D
We all get crazy at Christmas.
A                                         D
   Gather around and sing those yuletide songs.
          G                 D       Bm
Yeah we all get crazy at Christmas.
        D                   A             D
Lord I wish we could stay crazy all year long.

[Verse 3]
            D                   A                 D
Well it's enough to make old Scrooge say Season Greetings.
           G                                     D
And it's enough to make the rich folks help the poor.
  G                        D              Bm
Charity abounds when that feelin' comes around.
D                A                D   D7
   Why don't it come around some more.

[Chorus]
           G                 D
Cause we all get crazy at Christmas.
A                                        D
  Gather around and sing those yuletide songs.
          G                 D       Bm
Yeah we all get crazy at Christmas.
        D                   A             D    D
Lord I wish we could stay crazy all year long.

[Verse 4]
N.C.                  D
I want to thank Baby Jesus,
G                          D
   born in a manger long ago.
      G                          D              Bm
Cause on His birthday wars stop fighting for awhile.
               D               A               D   D7
And it's the closest thing we have to peace on earth.

[Chorus]
         G                 D
Yes we all get crazy at Christmas.
A                                         D
   Gather around and sing those yuletide songs.
          G                 D       Bm
Yeah we all get crazy at Christmas.
        D                   A             D
Lord I wish we could stay crazy all year long.

[Outro]
  D                 A             D
Why can't we stay crazy all year long.
