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, it's 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
[Bridge]
A pair of hop-along boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
A doll 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 3]
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 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'll sing
Right within your heart
