Have a holly, jolly Christmas
It’s the perfect time of the 12 months
I don’t know if there’ll be snow
But have a cup of cheer
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
And once you stroll down the road
Say good day to pals you already know
And everybody you meet
Oh, ho the mistletoe
Hung the place you may see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her as soon as for me
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
And in case you didn’t hear
Oh by golly have a holly jolly Christmas
This 12 months
(Have a holly, jolly Christmas
It’s the perfect time of the 12 months)
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
And once you stroll down the road
Say good day to pals you already know
And everybody you meet
Oh, ho the mistletoe
Hung the place you may see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her as soon as for me
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
And in case you didn’t hear
Oh by golly have a holly jolly Christmas
This 12 months
