CHORUS Get those bells a-ringin'! Roast your chestnuts on the fire Don't give your heart like you did last year! and hear that choir a-singin'! Watch out, don't pout, don't shed a tear! Like little tots with eyes aglow, Sing a few lyrics of a Christmas tune, we'll frolick just like eskimos! or maybe play it on kazoo… Deck your halls and let it snow! (Kazoo interlude on CHORUS) Glooooooooooooooooooooooorrrria... Fa la la la la la la la la Five go-old rings!
Dreaming of a silent night CHORUS
and rocking round the tree.; Riding a one-horse open slei(gh) And a partri-idge in a pear tree!
and sleep in heavenly peace.
Gay apparel we will don and merrily the bells ding dong! Rum pum pum pum Rum pum pum pum
