The snow is really falling, babe, it’s coming down And it looks a lot like Christmas all over town The sleigh bells are ringing I can hear ‘em now Whoa-oh-oh, it’s Christmas! The Main Street Cherry trees are strung with lights The kids are carving figure eights into the ice Grab a cup of hot chocolate or a cider with spice Whoa-oh-oh, it’s Christmas! It’s the Christmas season and we don’t need a reason To let the eggnog flow Let’s be holly jolly, enjoy the feast and folly Dance all night, say ho-ho-ho! The Christmas party’s hoppin’, all the guests have arrived I’ll put out the plates, I’ll fetch the forks and knives Is your handsome husband comin’? - ‘I’m already inside!’ Whoa-oh-oh, it’s Christmas! Ah-ah-ah-ah, Ah-ah-ah-ah, Ah-ah-ah, it’s Christmas I hope that Santa Baby let’s me ride in his sleigh He’s got a big bag of presents and he’s lookin’ our way He’s also got a list, so girls, you need to behave Whoa-oh-oh, it’s Christmas! I baked some Christmas cookies and a pumpkin pie If I eat another sweet I think I’m gonna die Oh what’s a couple pounds during the Yule Tide Whoa-oh-oh, it’s Christmas! It’s the Christmas season, we don’t need a reason To let the eggnog flow Let’s be holly jolly, enjoy the feast and folly Dance all night, say ho-ho-ho! The snow is really falling, babe, it’s coming down And it looks a lot like Christmas all over town The sleigh bells are ringing I can hear them now Whoa-oh-oh, it’s Christmas! Whoa-oh-oh-oh, Whoa-oh-oh-oh, Whoa-oh-oh, it’s Christmas!

Hold on to me a little tighter this year And don't you ease up when the calendar clears Keep up the love, laugh down your fears We're alive so let's live each day with cheer Throw another log on top of the fire It's bad, bad news streaming in off the wire One week before Old St. Nick's in town Twenty young kids are asleep underground Merry, Merry Christmas, it's a fucked up old place Sing and rejoice and bring a kiss to your face Count your blessings for whatever fills our lives with such grace Oh Merry, Merry Christmas, don't let yours go to waste Lights on the tree gleam in your eyes Warm slippered feet settling in for the night A bag full of toys don't stop me from cryin Where Jesus was born there are mortar shells flyin Merry, Merry Christmas, it's a fucked up old place So, sing and rejoice but don't look away From those in poor health, from the homeless and lame Merry, Merry Christmas, don't let yours go to waste Sleigh bells, they ring, please listen and smile For the couple in New England who gotta bury a child Don't all of our worries seem petty and mild Life is a question, say yes and go wild Merry, Merry Christmas, it's a fucked up old place Sing and rejoice and bring a kiss to your face Count your blessings for whatever fills our lives with such grace Merry, Merry Christmas, don't let yours go to waste Hold on to me a little tighter this year And don't you ease up when the calendar clears Keep up the love, laugh down your fears We're alive so let's live each day with cheer

D / D / Bm / Bm / Merry Christmas again I hope this one is better Than the last one we spent Separated by the weather I’ll call up the kids And I’ll put on a record Oh, please play the one we picked last night “Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells” Did you talk to your friends Dancin’ starts at 7 You shoud get back in the kitchen G / D / G / D / The year’s almost over, the next one is mine Well, the guests have arrived The girls are in their dresses And the boy is in his tie Tryin’ to impress her Now, the tables are set A love song in December We got a year to forget Maybe a few things to remember Oh, live for the sweethearts of laughter and life Oh, so much for the beau Winter’s made for kissin’ Well, just look at ‘em go I could show you what you’re missing We got old wounds to mend Gather round the fire The snow was made for good friends oo… Now, sing til you can’t tell the difference between your voice and mine.

I IV I Give me a kiss for Christmas I VII-7b5 VI7 Pretend it’s Valentine’s II- V I VI- Let the world snow, while angels fly low IV V I For Christmas, just one kiss that’s mine Drag a Blue Spruce through powdered timber Strap it to the car Like a campfire in the snow, set your love light aglow My dear, this Christmas is ours VII-7b5 III7 / VI- / III7 VI- The snow casts the moon through the dark VII-7b5 III7 / VI- / II- V Where ever you are, that’s my northern star The reindeer are pattering rhythms On rooftops in three four time Dance with me darlin, the yule tide is calling For christmas, just one waltz that’s mine ——— What more could I ask for Christmas? But your lips as snowflakes falls No presents or cakes, the only thing I will take A kiss for Christmas, that’s all Hand me your old year burdened I’ll give it a polish and shine With starlight and faith, turn the calendar page A date for New Year’s, divine. Bridge What more could I ask for this season? A blanket and Harry Potter Marathons on TV, and you next to me IV V A girl for Christmas, I got her So, give me a kiss for Christmas ——> EVERYBODY SING HERE! Pretend it’s Valentine’s Let the world snow, while angels fly low For Christmas, just one kiss that’s mine
