Meredith Willson
It’s Beginning to Look Like Christmas
[Verse 1]
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look at 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
[Refrain]
A pair of hop-along boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that can 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 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Refrain]
A 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
[Verse 5]
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
And the thing that will make them ring, is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart
In your heart
