It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas
[Verse 1]
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look in the five-and ten
Glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow

[Verse 2]
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, yeah

[Verse 3]
A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that will 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

[Verse 4]
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel and one in the park as well
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow
[Verse 5]
Oh, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
And soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart, yeah

[Verse 6]
A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that will 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

[Verse 7]
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel and one in the park as well
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow

[Verse 8]
Oh, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
And soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart
