Hot Buttered Rum Lyrics & Chords By Krista Detor

HOT BUTTERED RUM
© Krista Detor, The Silver Wood: Wintersongs

Tinsel trees, turtledove — get along turtledoves
Holly wreath on the door and the mistletoe above
But just the thing, ring-a-ling — hear the bells jingling
Is calling to me from afar, not very far, and there you are

So give me one hot toddy and a little mulled wine
Chase it with a wassail and the wassailing’s fine
A little sip of cider and the egg nog’ll hum
But Christmas isn’t Christmas ‘til you had a cup of
Hot buttered rum (pa rum pa pum pum)

Pretty lights in the night — Christmas star in the night
Candy canes, sugar plums dancing holiday delight
But sweetie pie, I could fly — with Santa Claus, oh could I
If you line ‘em up again, just once again and I’ll say when

Give me one hot toddy and a little mulled wine
Chase it with a wassail and the wassailing’s fine

A little sip of cider and the egg nog’ll hum
But Christmas isn’t Christmas ‘til you had a cup of
Hot buttered rum (pa rum pa pum pum)

Stockings on the mantle, Christmas angels in the snow
A nose as red as Rudolph’s, kissing everyone I know
Here we go wassailing, what in the world is wassailing?
But pour another round and I can wassail like a pro
Yodelayee, ho ho ho ...

Jolly Old St. Nicholas, lean your ear this way
Don’t you tell a single soul what I’m going to say
Christmas Eve is coming soon, New Year’s Eve will come
Whisper that you’ll bring to me ...
Another hot buttered rum (pa rum pa pum pum)

King Wenceslas, he got lost going home, he got lost
On the road back to town, with his buddy Jackie Frost
We heard ‘em sing, ring-a-ling, jingle bells, heard ‘em sing
I saw three ships come sailing in, a-sailing three sheets to the wind

So give me one hot toddy and a little mulled wine
Chase it with a wassail and the wassailing’s fine
A little sip of cider and the egg nog’ll hum
But Christmas isn’t Christmas ‘til you had a cup of
Hot buttered rum (pa rum pa pum pum)

I saw three ships come sailing in on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
I saw three ships come sailing in on Christmas Day in the ...
Hot Buttered Rum ...
