it's beginning to look a lot like christmas

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

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

a pair of hop-a-long boots and a pistol that shoots

is the wish of barney and ben

dolls that will talk and go for a walk

is the hope for 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

right within your heart

a pair of hop-a-long boots and a pistol that shoots

is the wish of barney and ben

dolls that will talk and go for a walk

is the hope for janice and jen

and mom and dad can hardly wait

for school to start again

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

right within your heart
