[Verse 1: Tom Smith]
All through the year we waited
We waited through spring and fall
To hear silver bells ringing and winter time bringing
The happiest season of all

[Verse 2: Agnes Obel, Tom Smith]
Chestnuts roasting on the open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

[Verse 3: Agnes Obel, Tom Smith & Agnes Obel, Tom Smith]
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright (Hmm)
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
