Ho! Ho! Ho!Where are we headed, elves?North Pole?Nah!This Christmas...We're going STATE TO STATE![Rock 'n' Roll Guitar Riff]Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Verse 1
You can Christmas in New YorkUnder big-city lights,Or California sunshineOn warm December nights.Colorado mountains,Texas stars that shine,But wherever you are, baby—CHRISTMAS IS A STATE OF MIND!
Chorus
Christmas is a state of mind,Christmas is a state of MINE!Fifty states and fifty waysTo have a Christmas time!From Alabama to Alaska,Every star can shine,You don't need a map to find it—CHRISTMAS IS A STATE OF MIND!Hey! Hey!A STATE OF MINE!
Verse 2
Rockin' down in Tennessee,Surfin' Christmas California,Hula Santa's dancingWay out there in Hawaii!Arizona cactusWearing Christmas lights,Minnesota's freezing—But they're rockin' there tonight!
Pre-Chorus
East Coast!ROCK IT!West Coast!ROCK IT!North and South combined!You can cross the whole darn country,But Christmas...IS A STATE OF MIND!
Chorus
Christmas is a state of mind,Christmas is a state of MINE!Fifty states and fifty waysTo have a Christmas time!From Maine down to Florida,Every star can shine,You don't need a map to find it—CHRISTMAS IS A STATE OF MIND!Hey! Hey!A STATE OF MINE!
Verse 3 – 1950s Rock 'n' Roll
Sock-hop Christmas in Ohio,Drive-in down in Maine,Cruisin' in a CadillacThrough Pennsylvania rain.Jukebox playing Christmas,Put another dime inside,Grab your baby, start to sway—We're going state to state tonight!
