Making Christmas
Making Christmas
Making Christmas
Making Christmas
Is so fine
It's ours this time
And won't the children be surprised
Making Christmas
Making Christmas
Making Christmas
Time to give them something fun
They'll talk about for years to come
Let's have a cheer from everyone
It's time to party
Making Christmas
Making Christmas
Snaked and mice get wrapped up so nice
With spier legs and pretty bows
It's ours this time
All together
That and this
With all our tricks
We're making Christmas Time
Here comes Jack
I don't believe what's happening to me
My hopes, my dreams, my fantasies
Hee, hee, hee, hee
Won't they be impressed, I am a genius
See how I transform the old rat
Into a most delightful hat
Hmm, my compliments from me to you
On this your most intriguing hst
Consider though this substitute
A bat in place of this old rat
Huh! No, no, no, now that's all wrong
This thing will never make a present
It's been dead for much too long
Try something fresher, something pleasant
Try again, don't give up
All together, that and this
With all our tricks we're making Christmastime
This time, this time
Making Christmas, making Christmas
La, la, la
It's almost here
And we can't wait
So ring the bells and celebrate
'Cause when the full monn starts to climb
We'll all sing out
It's Christmastime
Hee, hee, hee
