It's Christmas
I’m not sure but it looks to me like it’s Christmas (Christmas) People smiling everywhere I go (Christmas) Little children havin’ fun Throwin’ snow at a-everyone As if they don’t have a care in the world (Christmas) A Santa Claus on every corner, it’s Christmas (Christmas) Bells ringing, people singing everywhere (Christmas) A sort of magic fills the air It makes you feel glad that you’re there Everything will work out fine when it’s Christmas (Christmas) I never feel sad or blue when it’s Christmas (Christmas) You feel out of place if you don’t smile (Christmas) The only thing that you can do Is to be in a good mood, too You’ll never wear a frown when it’s Christmas (Christmas) It’s that time of year (Christmas) People spreading cheer (Christmas) Listen to the bell (Christmas) Can’t you tell?
