It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling and everyone telling
You be of good cheer
It's the most wonderful time of the year
It's the hap-happiest season of all
And gay happy meetings when friends
Come to call
It's the hap-happiest season of all
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmellows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow.
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of Christmases
Long, long ago.
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistletoeing and hearts
Will be glowing when loved ones are near
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmellows for toasing
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of Christmases
Long, long ago.
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistletoeing and hearts
Will be glowing when loved ones are near.
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time of the year
