It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas
[Intro]
One, two three

[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 (I want toys!)
But the prettiest sight to see
Is the holly that will be
On your own front door

[Refrain]
A pair of Hop-a-long 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 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 (Christmas)
Soon the bells will start (Christma—)
And the thing that will make them ring
Is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart

[Outro]
Christmas
What?
