==Lyrics==
"Ladies and gentleman
May I introduce to you
Who? Ceeeeeee Lo Green!"
"What's up guys, how you doin'?"
"What do you want for Christmas, Cee Lo?"
"For Christmas?"
All I need is love
Aw, yeah
All I need is love
Yeah
All I need is lo-lo-love
ladies, Bentleys
Watches, party [?] me
A sixty inch in every room
But all I wanna see is you
Got the cash to take vacations
To a beach in every nation
I don't wanna be a Scrooge
But I'm not going without you
Santa don't know what to get me
I just wanna see my baby
All I need is love
Aw, yeah
All I need is love
Yeah
All I need is lo-lo-love
All I need is you
Baby, all I need
You
Baby, all I need
All I need is lo-lo-love
Diamonds on my mistletoe
But that can't buy you love, you know
Yeah, I'd give it all away
For just the chance to see your face
I'd take a jet or hop a train
Or maybe Rudolph knows the way, I don't know
To where you are, this Christmas Eve
It's just one kiss is all I need
Santa, won't you come and get me
And take me where I'll find my baby
All I need is love
Aw, just love
All I need is love
Yeah
All I need is lo-lo-love
All I need is you
Baby, all I need
You
Baby, all I need
All I need is lo-lo-love
Someone please to Santa if you could
Steamed baked or fried I'm always good
[?]
But it was from a shrimp who really cares
Time to make his list and check it twice
I hope he likes his seafood nolly and spice
To got something bad to say about this crustation
You better come out until after Christmas vacation
Santa, won't you come and get me?
(I'm waiting for my presents!)
And take me where I'll find my baby
All I need is love
Please, Santa
All I need is love
Yeah
All I need is lo-lo-love
All I need is you
Baby, all I need
You
Baby, all I need
All I need is lo-lo-love
Santa, bring my baby
Baby, baby, please
All I need is you
Baby, all I need
All I need is lo-lo-love
All I need is lo-lo-love
I think the Muppets hit a new low
Yeah, and his first name is Cee!
