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 at 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-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 Mum 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
There's one in the park as well
It's 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'll make 'em ring
Is the carol that you'll sing
Right within your heart

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
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 Mum and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again

[Verse 5]
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look at the five and ten
It's glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow

[Verse 6]
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
Sure it's Christmas once more
