Santa’s yonder in the tumbleweeds On a team of armadillos Wearing cowboy boots and a bowtie His shirt is stuffed with pillows Cactus Christmas Yippe ky-oh-ky-ay Cactus Christmas
There’s sand in Santa’s sleigh Out where the jack rabbits roam There’s no place like home for Cactus Christmas
Oh look at the happy little rattle snakes In holiday apparel A wiggling through the sagebrush To sing an old fashioned carol Cactus Christmas Yippe ky-oh-ky-ay Cactus Christmas
There’s sand in Santa’s sleigh There’s gonna be presents everywhere Underneath the prickly pear Cactus Christmas
And the stars each night look like Christmas lights Strung across the western sky Leads into a cowboy’s eyes It’s a mirage yes I know But the sand looks like snow
A buzzard and a lizard hung their stockings with glee A tarantula asked a gila monster, “Now where could Santa be?” It’s Cactus Christmas Yippe ky-oh-ky-ay Cactus Christmas
Hey Santa’s on his way Out where it’s hot and sandy Gonna be a dry and dandy Cactus Christmas
Out where the jack rabbits roam There’s no place like home for Cactus Christmas
Yippe ky-oh-ky-ay Gonna be okay Cactus Christmas Cactus Christmas
