Everywhere you go,
Take a look in the Five & 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 purdy-est 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
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 . . .
Now 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 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,
Soon the bells will start,
And the thing that will make them ring,
Is the carol that you sing,
Right within your heart!
