[Verse 1]

Leaping over hurricanes

To get back to you, my love

It is almost Christmas Eve

And I need to find my way back home

Keep some Yuletide safe for me

I hope tonight I make it back

I smell the tree inside my dreams

I see the smoke from the chimney stack

[Chorus]

How'd you like them lords a-leaping?

That I sent to you today

How'd you like some pipers piping?

Get ready, they're about to come your way

[Verse 2]

Blast these hills and shoot these stars

I can't see worth a penny in the dark

I must be getting close to your house

Getting so close it can't be far

Make a cup of cocoa just for me

Set it by the fireplace or the tree

Tell my family not to go

In a minute or two that's where I'll be!

[Chorus]

How'd you like them lords a-leaping?

That I sent to you today

How'd you like some pipers piping?

Get ready, they're about to come your way

Now I'm pullin' into the drive

Everything's gonna be alright

We can spend some time together

Before the big shindig the next two nights

[Chorus]

How'd you like them lords a-leaping?

That I sent to you today

How'd you like some pipers piping?

Get ready, they're about to come your way

Get ready, they're about to come your way
