It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
everywhere you go…
Take a look at the five and ten,
it’s glistening once again
with candy canes and silver lanes that glow.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas –
toys in every store…
But the prettiest sight to see
is the holly that will be
on your own front door.
A pair of Hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
is the wish of Barney and Ben.
Dolls that’ll talk and will go for a walk
is the hope of Janice and Jen.
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait
for school to start again…
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
everywhere you go…
There’s a tree in the Grand Hotel,
one in the park as well –
it’s the sturdy kind that doesn’t mind the snow.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas –
soon the bells will start.
And the thing that’ll make ’em ring
is the carol that you sing
right within your heart.
Musical break
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas –
toys in every store…
But the prettiest sight to see
is the holly that will be
on your own front door.
Sure, it’s Christmas once more…
