Jolly Jolly Christmas
Michael Bublé Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have a holly, jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year
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, the mistletoe
Is hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me

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

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

Have a holly, jolly Christmas




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

Line by Line Meaning

Have a holly, jolly Christmas
Wishing you a very happy and cheerful Christmas


It's the best time of the year
A time filled with joy and happiness


I don't know if there'll be snow
Not sure about the possibility of snow on this Christmas


But have a cup of cheer
Enjoy some warm and cheery drinks instead of the snow


And when you walk down the street
As you take a walk around the town


Say hello to friends you know
Greet your known ones with a warm smile


And everyone you meet
Embrace socializing and make the most of it


Oh, the mistletoe
A sprig of an evergreen plant hung from the ceiling as a Christmas decoration


Is hung where you can see
Placed in an easily noticeable spot


Somebody waits for you
There is someone who wants to have a special moment with you under the mistletoe


Kiss her once for me
If you find yourself under the mistletoe with someone, give them a kiss on my behalf


And in case you didn't hear
If you missed my previous wish


Oh by golly, have a holly, jolly Christmas this year
Please have an absolutely wonderful and mirthful Christmas this year

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
Ho ho the mistletoe
Is hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me
Have a holly jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't hear
Oh by golly have a holly jolly Christmas
This year
Ho ho the mistletoe
Is hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me
Have a holly jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't hear
Oh by golly have a holly jolly Christmas
This year

To the person that reads this, I ask the Lord to bless them and their family, to cure them of every sickness and pain, to fill their emptiness with love joy and peace, to rebuke the enemy from their lives. " ASK JESUS TO COME INTO YOUR HEART AND SAVE YOU, AND TO FORGIVE YOU OF YOUR SINS, FOR WE GIVE THANKS AND GLORY TO THE LORD. IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AMEN!
