Shake up Christmas (song)

I came across Shake up Christmas through ESL Chestnut a few weeks ago. I also think it's high time I published a Christmas-related activity.

Here's the song, anyway. You will find the typical fill in the blanks activity below, but it is more an excuse to provide you with the lyrics. I hope you enjoy it.


Ho, ho, ho...
(1) ... up the happiness
(2) ... up the happiness
(1) ... up the happiness
It's (3) ... time
There was a (4) ... that I was told
And I want to tell the (5) ... before I get too old
And don't (6) ... it, so let's December it
And reassemble it, oh yeah

Once upon a time in a (7) ... like this
A little girl made a great big (8) ...
To fill the world full of happiness
And be on Santa’  magic (9) …

(1) ... it up, (1) ... up the happiness
(2) ... it up, (2) ... up the happiness
Come on all, it's (3) ... time
(1) ... it up, (1) ... up the happiness
(2) ... it up, (2) ... up the happiness
Come on all, it's (3) ... time
Ho, ho, ho,
Ho, ho, ho,
It's (3) ... time

At the same (10) ... miles away
A little (11) ... made a (8) ... that day
That the world would be (12) ...
And Santa would hear him say
I got dreams and I got (13) ...
I got my feet on the ground and (14) ... above
Can you send some (15) … with my best
To the rest of the people of east and the (16) …
And maybe every once in a while
You give my a grandma a reason to (17) …
'Tis the season to (17) …
It's cold but we'll be freezing in style
And let me meet a (18) … one day
That wants to spread some love this way
We can let our souls run (19) …
And she can open some happiness with me

Chorus

I know you're out (20) …
I hear your reindeer
I see the snow (21) …
Your (22) … have been
I'm gonna show them
So they will know then
Then (23) … will grow in
They (24) … again

Chorus
