Well baby-baby-baby, baby-baby-baby, baby-baby-baby
Expressing affection with repeated "baby" and a play on Elvis's style.
You ain't nothing but a reindeer, ooh barkin' all the time
Comparing someone to a reindeer, suggesting constant noise or disturbance.
Ever since we heard you singin'
Referencing the joy felt upon hearing Elvis sing.
Ever since we saw you swingin'
Reflecting the excitement when witnessing Elvis's performance.
Our hearts lit up like a Christmas tree
Describing the overwhelming happiness like a lit Christmas tree.
So please-please Elvis, spend Christmas with me
Pleading for Elvis to spend Christmas together.
And if you won't
If Elvis refuses the invitation.
You ain't nothing but a reindeer, ooh barkin' all the time
Reiterating the comparison of someone to a disruptive reindeer.
Well if you ain't here for Christmas
If Elvis is not present for Christmas.
Then you ain't no friend of mine
Expressing the importance of spending Christmas with Elvis.
Baby-baby-baby, baby-baby-baby

If only you could hear what we're sayin'
Wishing Elvis could hear the plea or desire.
If Santa Claus could hear us prayin'
Imagining Santa Claus hearing their prayers for Elvis's presence.
There isn't anything that we wouldn't pay
Willing to pay any price for Elvis to be there on Christmas.
If you could be here Elvis on Christmasday
Expressing the significance of Elvis's presence on Christmas day.
And if you won't
If Elvis declines the invitation.
I'll be so lonely baby, I'll be so lonely
Feeling lonely without Elvis on Christmas.
It's gonna be a great romance
Anticipating a great romantic time with Elvis.
So don't be cruel and love me tender
Referencing Elvis's famous songs "Don't Be Cruel" and "Love Me Tender."
Don't give me those blue moon blues

Come back baby, I wanna play house

And I promise not to step on your blue suede shoes
Promising not to interfere with Elvis's iconic blue suede shoes.
I want you, I need you, I love you
Expressing love and need for Elvis, referencing another Elvis song.
There ain't nobody above you

Won't you listen to my Yuletide plea
Urging Elvis to listen to their Christmas plea.
And please-please Elvis, spend Christmas with me
Reiterating the plea for Elvis to spend Christmas together.
And if you won't
If Elvis declines the plea again.
You ain't nothing but a reindeer, barkin' all the time

Well if you ain't here for Christmas
If Elvis is not present for Christmas.
Then you ain't no friend of mine
Highlighting the importance of Elvis's presence for a friendship.
So Elvis, spend Christmas with me
