Christmas Conga Lyrics
Cyndi Lauper
Its time to make the christmas punch
Lets hang the streamers from the ceiling
Bring out the old cheer
Ring in the new year
And get that christmas feeling
Chorus:
I wish you joy that never ends
Happy times with all your friends
Come on and hold my hips a little longer
As we do the christmas conga,
Bonga, bonga, bonga, bonga
Do the christmas conga
The old white tree still looks good
And grandmas angels got me thinking
String up the new lights,
Brighten the cold nights
And get those baubles blinking
Chorus:
I wish you joy that never ends
Happy times with all your friends
Come on and hold my hips a little longer
As we do the christmas conga,
Bonga, bonga, bonga, bonga
Do the christmas conga
And then well put on party hats
As the year comes to a conclusion
Turn on the yule log
Spike up the egg nog
And break those resolutions
Chorus:
I wish you joy that never ends
Happy times with all your friends
Come on and hold my hips a little longer
As we do the christmas conga,
Bonga, bonga, bonga, bonga
Do the christmas conga
