![]() I love to drink hot cocoa, the taste is so divine My favorite time to drink it, is at Christmas time A pack of chocolate powder, mixed with hot warm milk Take a spoon, stir it up, it rolls over your tongue like silk Add some whipped cream, foaming and light Or some tiny marshmellows, fluffy and white In my favorite Santa mug--billows clouds of steam I could drink it day and night, even in my dreams I love to drink hot cocoa, after I go outside and play It warms my belly up, on a cold and snowy day I like to build snowmen and make balls of snow But I really like it best, when Mom makes hot cocoa I love to drink hot cocoa, when we go to the Christmas farm And pick out a Christmas tree, it keeps my tummy warm When we walk around the lot, with all the twinkling lights One hand holds my cocoa, the other holds Mommy's tight My favorites are the clear ones, that sparkle and blink I imagine they are tiny, marshmellows in my drink I love to drink hot cocoa, when we trim the Christmas tree And sing carols all the while, what fun it is for me Then Daddy dims the lights, and the twinkle lights glow And we all sit by the fire, and drink our hot cocoa I love to drink hot cocoa, and help mommy roll the dough When she's baking gingermen, in a tidy row She lets me make the eyes, with icing nice and sweet And when they're done, I have hot cocoa--with a cookie treat I love to drink hot cocoa, when I wait in line to see Jolly ole' St. Nicholas--and sit upon his knee He laughs with a, "HO! HO! HO!, have you been good all year?" Then I climb upon his knee, and whisper in his ear "Santa, I've been very good, I've made all A's and B's I'd like some toys, a new bike,---OH! and more hot cocoa please" I love to drink hot cocoa, when I wait on Christmas night For Santa and his reindeer, on their magical flight As he travels in his sleigh, through the fog and the snow Instead of cookies, I'll leave him some hot cocoa I love to drink hot cocoa, on Christmas day After I've opened all my presents, and my cousins come to play Among the wrapping and ribbons, --and the papers I see A great big box of hot cocoa, that Santa left just for me.
