Songtext zu 'Gonna Eat For Christmas' von 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!
