The holly green, the ivy green
The prettiest picture you've ever seen Is Christmas in Killarney With all of the folks at home It's nice, you know, to kiss your beau While cuddling under the mistletoe And Santa Claus you know, of course Is one of the boys from home The door is always open The neighbors pay a call And Father John before he's gone Will bless the house and all How grand it feels to click your heels And join in the fun of the jigs and reels I'm handing you no blarney The likes you've never known Is Christmas in Killarney With all of the folks at home |

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,
ring ting tingling too Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you, Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling "Yoo hoo," Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you. Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap, let's go, Let's look at the show, We're riding in a wonderland of snow. Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap, it's grand, Just holding your hand, We're gliding along with a song of a wintry fairy land. Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy cozy are we We're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be Let's take that road before us and sing a chorus or two Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you. There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray It'll be the perfect ending a perfect day We'll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop, At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop. Pop! pop! pop! There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy, When they pass around the chocolate and the pumpkin pie It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives These wonderful things are the things we remember all through our lives! Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring ting tingling too Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you, Let's take that road before us and sing a chorus or two Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you. |

I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar Carols play And wide and sweet the words repeat Of peace on earth good will to man I thought as now this day had come The belfries of all Christendom Had rung so long the unbroken song Of peace on earth good will to man And in despair I bowed my head There is no peace on earth I said For hate is strong and marks the song Of peace on earth good will to man Then pealed the bells more loud and deep God is not dead nor does he sleep The wrong shall fail the right prevail With peace on earth good will to man |

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack frost nipping at your nose Yuletide carols being sung by a choir And folks dressed up like eskimos Everybody knows A turkey and some mistletoe Will help to make the season bright Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow Will find it hard to sleep tonight They know that santa's on his way He's loaded lots of toys An' goodies on his sleigh And every mother's child is gonna spy To see if reindeer really know How to fly And so I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from one to ninety-two Although it's been said Many times many ways Merry Christmas to you And so I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from one to ninety-two Although it's been said Many times many ways Merry Christmas to you |

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style. In the air there's a feeling of Christmas. Children laughing, people passing, Metting smile after smile, And on every street corner you hear: Silver bells, silver bells, It's Christmas time in the city. Ring a ling, hear hem ring, Soon it will be Christhmas Day. Strings of street lights, even stop lights, blink a bight red and green, As the shoppers rush home with their treasures. Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch, This is Santa's big scene. And above all this bustle you hear. |

It's a marshmallow world in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground It's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day I wait for it the whole year round. Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly In the arms of the evergreen trees And the sun is red like a pumpkin head It's shining so your nose wont freeze. The world is your snowball, see how it grows Thats how it goes whenever it snows The world is your snowball just for a song Get out and roll it along It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts Take a walk with your favorite girl It's a sugar date, what if spring is late In winter it's a marshmallow world. (It's a marshmallow day in the winter When the snow comes to cover the ground) It's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day. (And we wait for it the whole year round.) Just you remember: Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly (In the arms of the evergreen trees) And the sun is red like a pumpkin head (It's shining so your nose wont freeze.) You must remeber The world is your snowball, see how it grows Thats how it goes whenever it snows The world is your snowball just for a song Get out and roll it along It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts Take a walk with your favorite girl It's a sugar date, what if spring is late In winter it's a marshmallow world. In winter it's a marshmallow world. In winter it's a marshmallow world. |
