It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas
von Meredith Willson
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again. 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.
Toys in ev’ry store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door.
Is the wish of Barney and Ben;
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen;
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.
Soon the bells will start,
And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart
