[Verse 1]

You lift your eyes on Christmas morn

I arrive to your house

I knock on your door and you're up and about

And I meet you at the tree

[Chorus]

We open presents first

Just us two

But I've already given my gifts to you

[Verse 2]

We go to my parents' house

For the big doin's

We open presents there with everyone

A pounding outside beckons

[Chorus]

It's my final gift to

You my dear

Twelve drummers drumming bring you to tears

[Verse 3]

My true love, I hope it's good

You can hear it past the neighborhood

Their big bass tones replace your heart beat

And they control the movement of your feet

[Chorus]

It's my final gift to

You my dear

Twelve drummers drumming bring you to tears

It's my final gift to

You my dear

Twelve drummers drumming bring you to tears

It's my final gift to

You my dear

Twelve drummers drumming bring you to tears

It's my final gift to

You my dear

Twelve drummers drumming bring you to tears
