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

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.

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
