Won't they be impressed? I am a genius
See how i transform this old rat
Into a most delightful hat?

[JACK]
Hmm, my compliments from me to you
On your most intriguing hat
Consider though this substitute
A bat in the place of this old rat
Huh! No, no, no, now that's all wrong.
This thing will never make a present
It's been dead now for much too long
Try something fresher, something pleasant.
Try again, don't give up

[THREE MR. HYDES]
All together, that and this
with all our tricks we're making Christmas time

(instrumental)

[GROUP]
This time this time

[JACK]
It's ours

Making Christmas making Christmas
La la la
It's almost here
And we can't wait so ring the bells and celebrate
'Cause when the full moon starts to climb
We'll all sing it out

[JACK]




It's Christmas time!
Hee hee hee
