[Verse 1: Aretha Franklin]
Hang all the mistletoe
I'm going to get to know you better this Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it's going to be together this Christmas
[Chorus: Aretha Franklin]
The fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas
Will be a, a very special Christmas for me, yeah, yeah
[Interlude: Aretha Franklin]
Alright, Eddie, my son
Sing it, Eddie
[Verse 2: Edward Franklin]
Presents and cards are here
My world is filled with cheer and you, this Christmas
And as I look around
Your eyes outshine the town, they do, this Christmas
The fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
[Interlude: Aretha & Edward]
Eddie, you mustn't upstage your mama with those kinds of notes
Shake a hand, shake a hand, be a friend, be a friend, y'all
This Christmas, this christmas
[Chorus: Aretha Franklin]
The fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas
Will be a, a very special Christmas for me, yeah, yeah
[Interlude: Aretha Franklin]
Merry Christmas
Shake your hand, shake your hand, yeah, ooh
[Chorus: Aretha Franklin]
The fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas
Will be a, a very special Christmas for me, yeah, yeah
[Verse 3: Aretha Franklin]
This is what we got to do, gang
For me this Christmas, this Christmas
You'll be sitting somewhere, and you've got the blues
Think about the man who ain't got no shoes, yeah, yeah
[Outro: Aretha Franklin]
Hang on, hold on until Christmas
Higher, higher, hang on, hold on to Christmas
Hang on, hold on until Christmas
Yeah, hold on to your faith, until Christmas and after, oh, and after
This Christmas, this Christmas, this Christmas
Well, well, well, well, well, well
Hold on, hold on, hold on until Christmas
You got to hold on
