Dickie Valentine with Johnny Douglas And His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

C is for the candy trimmed around the Christmas tree
H is for the happiness with all the family
R is for the reindeer prancing by the window pane
I is for the icing on the cake as sweet as sugar cane
S is for the stocking on the chimney wall
T is for the toys beneath the tree so tall
M is for the mistletoe where everyone is kissed
A is for the angels who make up the Christmas list
S is for the Santa who makes every kid his pet
Be good and he'll bring you everything in your Christmas alphabet

Capital C is for the candy trimmed around the Christmas tree
H is for the happiness with all the family
R is for the reindeer prancing by the window pane
I is for the icing on the cake as sweet as sugar cane
S is for the stocking on the chimney wall
T is for the toys beneath the tree so tall
M is for the mistletoe where everyone is kissed
A is for the angels who make up the Christmas list




S is for the Santa who makes every kid his pet
Be good and he'll bring you everything in your Christmas alphabet
