v. 1
For Christmas I’d like an iguana.
There's no finer flora or fauna!
And that's why this Christmas I wanna
My present to be an iguana.

v. 2
They say Christmas day is for giving,
If you want to see me keep living
You'll phone up the neighborhood Bwana
And order me a pet iguana.

CHORUS:
     Iguana, Iguana;
     I'm begging you please dad and mama,
     Iguana, iguana,
     For Christmas I’d like an iguana.

v. 3
Don't tell me I'll be disappointed,
The neighbors will become disjointed.
I'll suffer a long lasting trauma,
If you don't get me an iguana.

v. 4
I know that I am just gonna die,
If I don't get me an iguanadae.
I don't want to hear 'bout mañana
I just want my own small iguana

CHORUS:
     Iguana, Iguana;
     I'm begging you please dad and mama,
     Iguana, iguana,
     There's nothing to beat an iguana

BRIDGE
     Iguanas for Christmas! Oh, can't you just see
     My lovely iguanas a-waiting for me?

     Iguanas for Christmas! Oh my, what a treat!
     (I wonder what iguanas like best to eat?)

     Iguanas for Christmas! They're freaky! They're fun!
     Snap them with rubber bands, see how they run!

     Iguanas for Christmas! I simply can't wait
     For Santa to leave them...it's gonna be great!

v. 5
Hey, Mama, it's here in this ad, see
You know that I want one so badly.
You never could pass up a good deal;
A garage sale iguana’s a real steal.

v. 6
Iguanas are sold in garages
Imagine they are not mirages
For Leah has seen them and told me
So blame her and please do not scold me

CHORUS:
     Iguana, Iguana;
     I'm begging you please dad and mama,
     Iguana, iguana,
     There's nothing to beat an iguana

v. 7
For Christmas I’d like an iguana
The name that I'll give her is Donna
I'll even take her in the sauna,
My Christmas iguana named Donna.

v. 8
For Christmas I’d like an iguana.
There's no finer flora or fauna!
And that's why this Christmas I wanna
My present to be an iguana.

CHORUS:
     Iguana, Iguana;
     I'm begging you please dad and mama,
     Iguana, iguana,
     For Christmas I’d like an iguana.
