Text
Intro (spoken or sung softly):
The palm trees shine with Christmas light,
The ocean hums a lullaby tonight.
No snow to fall, no chill to flee,
Just love and laughter by the sea.
(short instrumental break – ukulele or gentle guitar strumming)
Verse 1:
Snow is falling somewhere else,
But here the ocean sings.
We’re stringing shells and fairy lights
On palms instead of pines and things.
The sunset paints the sky so red,
As we toast with mango wine.
Santa’s trading in his sleigh
For a surfboard ride this time.
Chorus:
Santa by the sea, under stars so free,
Coconuts and candy canes swingin’ from the tree.
Laughter in the breeze, hearts in harmony,
It’s a merry, merry Christmas, island melody.
Verse 2:
Barefoot carols on the sand,
Ukuleles hum so sweet.
Children chasing starlit waves,
Warm tides around their feet.
The moonlight wraps us soft in gold,
The world feels kind and near,
And every wish that we can hold
Comes true right here, this year.
Chorus:
Santa by the sea, under stars so free,
Coconuts and candy canes swingin’ from the tree.
Laughter in the breeze, hearts in harmony,
It’s a merry, merry Christmas, island melody.
Bridge:
No frost, no flurries, no icy night,
But still our hearts are glowing bright.
Joy doesn’t need a winter chill
To find its way and linger still.
Final Chorus:
Santa by the sea, bring your love to me,
From Honolulu all the way to Waikiki.
Bells upon the breeze, dancing endlessly,
It’s a merry, merry Christmas, island melody.
Musikstil
Tropical Christmas song in the style of “Mele Kalikimaka.” Cheerful and sunny holiday vibe with Hawaiian ukulele, light percussion, upright bass, gentle sleigh bells, and warm vocal harmonies. Mid-tempo swing rhythm with island feel. Smooth, jazzy chords and vintage 1950s sound. Joyful and relaxed — like celebrating Christmas on the beach under palm trees.
