​Eenie K-veenie Klib-a-da-vac
That's how they say Merry Christmas on Mars
Eenie K-veenie Klib-a-da-vac
To little Mega-da-vic and Hack-a-nack-a-nack and Laars

You may say Happy Hink-a-da-Bink
Or Jolly Jink-a-da-Binka-Schmoo
Or simply Icken-Icken-Schmick-Schmick everyone

But Eenie K-veenie Klib-a-da-vac
Means Merry Christmas on the fourth rock from the sun

Try it with me now...

Eenie K-veenie Klib-a-da-vac...
I’m serious, try it with us now...

Eenie K-veenie Klib-a-da-vac
That's how they say Merry Christmas on Mars
Eenie K-veenie Klib-a-da-vac
To little Mega-da-vic and Hack-a-nack-a-nack and Laars

You may say Happy Hink-a-da-Bink
Or Jolly Jink-a-da-Binka-Schmoo
Or simply Icken-Icken-Schmick-Schmick everyone

But Eenie K-veenie Klib-a-da-vac
Means Merry Christmas on the fourth rock from the sun

We landed on that planet
Don't you remember?
And quickly overran it
Just last December

Demanding of the Martian population
"Convert to Christianity!
It can't be too hard, can it?
Even godless Unitarians want a week's vacation

Their skin is green, their eyes are red
And so they all stood up and said...

Eenie K-veenie Klib-a-da-vac
That's how they say Merry Christmas on Mars
Eenie K-veenie Klib-a-da-vac
Mostly 'cause Martians cannot pronounce R's

You may say Happy Hink-a-da-Bink
Or Jolly Jink-a-da-Binka-Schmoo
Or simply Icken-Icken-Schmick-Schmick everyone

But Eenie K-veenie Klib-a-da-vac
Means Merry Christmas on the fourth rock from the sun

You could say Blessed Jook-Neeb 
And also with you
Or here's to Auld Lang Szszszszszein
Or simply Venga-nenga-Schmook-a-nooka-Dink Noel, Noel

But Eenie K-veenie Klib-a-da-vac
Means Merry Christmas to a Martian infidel!
