It's Christmas Once Again
Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers & Hug Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Merry voices raised in singing
Carols through the streets are ringing
All because it's Christmas once again
Lovers kiss in public shyly
Mistletoe was hung there slyly
Little kiddies' noses flattened
On the window pane
Peeking at the dollys
And the shiny choo-choo trains
Santa's hitching up his reindeer
Has his bag packed tight
Everything is ready for the sleigh ride
Through the night
Christmas trees with lights are twinkling
Glasses filled with snowflakes sprinkling
All because it's Christmas once again
So here's a wish we keep repeating
Please accept the season's greetings
All because it's Christmas once again
Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum

maybe they're lip syncing

Sandman is not only impressive for the harmonies, which are amazing, but the timing has to be perfect. No one can be off or the whole thing isn't in sync any longer. It's so beautiful.
Roy Hobbs
You realize what you're hearing was recorded and mixed in a studio. The performers are lip synching to their own recording, almost always the case on American Bandstand as well as this BeechNut special. Don't believe me? Where are the other musicians?
Lampcap
@Roy Hobbs I never said they weren't. I was saying the timing and such. Everyone lip syncs their performances. That's not new information. But even with your point, it still doesnt take away from this performance. Their lips are still timed just right.
Roy Hobbs
@Lampcap Yes both recordings are brilliantly done.
