It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas
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
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
Pair of hop-along 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
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
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 will make them ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart, right within your heart
