Beta Fish Christmas

Verse 1

Mama sets the plate down by the chimney

Six cookies and a tall glass of milk

Little brother swears he heard a jingle

I told him that the sleigh was made of silk

We lined the carrots up along the railing

Orange soldiers waiting in a row

Dad says go to sleep but we're not failing

We're too busy watching for the glow

Pre-Chorus

Stocking toes on frozen stairs

Counting every creak

Holding hands and holding breath

Till the morning speaks

Chorus

Did he come did he come did he come tonight

Are the cookies gone are the carrots gone

Did he come did he come did he come tonight

We've been waiting here since way past dawn

(Since way past dawn)

Verse 2

I crept down at four and found the plate

Empty crumbs and one small snowy print

Baby sister screamed and woke the whole estate

Then we sat and stared at every hint

Underneath the tree a tiny bowl

Something swimming in a glassy sea

Blue fins flicking like a living coal

Santa knew exactly what to leave for me

Pre-Chorus

Stocking toes on frozen stairs

Counting every creak

Holding hands and holding breath

Till the morning speaks

Chorus

Did he come did he come did he come tonight

Are the cookies gone are the carrots gone

Did he come did he come did he come tonight

We've been waiting here since way past dawn

(Since way past dawn)

Bridge

Wrapped in paper gold and tape

A little life that swims and stays

A quiet friend for rainy days

He knew he knew he knew

Chorus

Did he come did he come did he come tonight

Are the cookies gone are the carrots gone

Did he come did he come did he come tonight

We've been waiting here since way past dawn

Post-Chorus

Ooh ooh he came he came

Ooh ooh he came he came

Cookies gone and carrots gone

Best Christmas ever begun
