There's frost on the ground
People downtown, flurry around
In the snow that's a fallin'
This phrase is a small one
Sleigh bells are calling to say

Merry Christmas to you
I hope this one's better than last
Merry Christmas to you
Better than Christmases past

Light the red and white tree
Wishin' Christmas to me
Hangin' stockings on mantles
With choirs singin' Handel
Pine cones and candles that say

Merry Christmas to you
I hope this one's better than last
Merry Christmas to you
Better than Christmases past

All the gifts that we share
Song fills the air
Kissin' mistletoe Mountain
The warmth that's surrounding
We're counting the days left to say

Merry Christmas to you
I hope this one's better than last
Merry Christmas to you
Better than Christmases past
