Lyrics

It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas

[Verse 1]

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Everywhere you go

Take a look at the five and ten glistening once again

With candy canes and silver lanes aglow

[Verse 2]

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

[Refrain]

A pair of hop-along boots and a pistol that shoots

Is the wish of Barney and Ben

Dolls that can 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

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Refrain]

A pair of hop-along 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

[Verse 5]

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

And the thing that will make them ring, is the carol that you sing

Right within your heart

In your heart
