Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have a holly jolly Christmas
It’s the best time of the year
Now I don’t know if there’ll be snow
But have a cup of cheer

Have a holly jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know

And everyone you meet

Oh ho the mistletoe
Home where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss him once for me

Have a holly jolly Christmas
And in case you didn’t hear
Uh, by golly have a holly jolly
Christmas this year

Oh, ho the mistletoe
Home where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss him once for me

Have a holly jolly Christmas
And in case you didn’t hear
Uh by golly have a holly jolly
Christmas this year

Santa Claus is coming to town

Now I don't know if there'll be snow
But have a cup of cheer

And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know

Ho ho the mistletoe
Is hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me

Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me

And in case you didn't hear
Oh by golly have a holly jolly Christmas
