Joe Christmas Lyrics

Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴

Christmas Carols
Miscellaneous
It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go;
Take a look in the five and ten glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Toys in ev'ry store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door.

A pair of hopalong 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.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere 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.
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

Line by Line Meaning

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
The holiday season is upon us and the atmosphere and decorations are setting the perfect mood

Ev'rywhere you go;
Everywhere you look

Take a look in the five and ten glistening once again
If you visit stores, you will notice that they have decked themselves up and are shining with decorations and ornaments

With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.
Amongst the many decorations you’ll see candy canes and silver streets lit up to add glamour to the christmas scenes everywhere

Toys in ev'ry store
Toys of all kinds filling the shops

But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
the sight of holly wreaths laid out at the front door, greeting every visitor with love and warmth

On your own front door.
Placing holly on your front door adds a special touch of festive happiness just for you and your family.

A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Little Barney and Ben wish for toy guns and cowboy boots this Christmas

Is the wish of Barney and Ben;
Barney and Ben have these wishes for their presents this year

Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
While Janice and Jen hope for dolls that not just talk but also take a walk

Is the hope of Janice and Jen;
These are specific requests and hopes of siblings Janice and Jen for their christmas gifts

And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again.
Parents are looking forward to the school reopening so their little ones will be occupied again, post the long holidays

There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well,
Even establishments and public places have adorned themselves with Christmas trees and decorations; one in the Grand Hotel and another in the park

The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.
The trees around do not bother even if they're subjected to snowfall, they can withstand it all.

Soon the bells will start,
Christmas bells are just about to start ringing

And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing
What makes the bells chime is nothing but the beautiful carol that you sing from the heart

Right within your heart
It's the warmth, love and joy that you feel inside your heart which makes the festive season truly special
