it's beginning to look like christmas

it's beginning to look a lot like christmas

everywhere you go

takes a look in the five and ten

glistening once again

with candy canes and silver lanes aglow

it's beginning to look a lot like christmas

toys in every store

it's the prettiest sight to see

is the holly that will be on your own front door

a pair of hopalong 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

it's beginning to look a lot like christmas

everywhere you go

there's a tree in the grand hotel

one in the park as well

the sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow

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 sing within your heart
