Best Christmas Songs – Mrs. Claus Ain’t Got Nothing On Me – Little Jackie
“Mrs. Claus Ain’t Got Nothing on Me” is my #7 song in my 25 Days of Christmas Songs list. This song sounds like it just leaped out of the film Jackie Brown. It’s got that old-school r&b sound I love so much.
“Mrs. Claus Ain’t Got Nothing on Me” is by Little Jackie, a duo consisting of Imani Coppola and Adam Pallin. Little Jackie got their name from the 1989 hit song “Little Jackie Wants to Be a Star” by Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam. Who remembers them? Anyone? I sure do. I must be old.
Target, of all places, used “Mrs. Claus Ain’t Got Nothing on Me” in one of its commercials back in 2010.
And what’s not to love about this song? Any song that has the line “A boom-boom bap in a snap that’s a wrap pow pow shazam shazap that’s a wrap” is a classic in my book.
“Mrs. Claus Ain’t Got Nothing on Me” is most certainly on my Best Christmas Songs playlist this year.
Mrs. Claus Ain’t Got Nothing On Me Lyrics
Fa-la-la-la-la
Oo she bop she bop
Fa-la-la-la-la
Oo she bop she bop
I ain’t got no time for a nap oh no no
I gotta make this holiday glow (like a light bulb)
Tie it all up in a big shiny bow
I’m a home for the holidays superhero
A boom-boom bap in a snap that’s a wrap
pow pow shazam shazap that’s a wrap
Bake up them cookies as fast as I can
I’m gonna show what I got
Then show you who I am
(Chorus)
Mrs. Claus ain’t got nothing on me
I’m dancing circles around the Christmas tree
Decking the halls, doing it all merrily
Honey, it’s as easy as one-two-three
Fa-la-la-la-la
Oo she bop she bop
Fa-la-la-la-la
Oo she bop she bop
I ain’t got no time to pout, no not now
I’m about to let my inner elf hustle on out
Silver and gold, it’s all under control
’cause I’m a home for the holidays superhero
A bam-bam blaow in a snap that’s a wrap
pow pow shazam shazap that’s a wrap
I sparkle like a star on top of the tree
I pat myself on the back baby
It’s all because of me.
(Chorus)
Come to mama baby, I got superpowers
I can do 12 days of Christmas in 12 hours
Come to mama baby, I’ll be your superhero
I’ll reduce a million worries right down to zero.
(Chorus)

I had all intentions of posting a favorite Christmas song each day in the month of December. I failed miserably. It’s halfway through the month and I’m just getting started. I plan to post a couple a day so I end up with not just my Top 10 Christmas Songs but my Top 25 Christmas Songs. I love this time of year and I love Christmas music. I’m all for Bing Crosby and Burl Ives, but my tastes lean towards the more offbeat Christmas Songs. I think they make for a superb Christmas play list. Put them on yours. You won’t be sorry.
