====== It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas ======

===== Lyrics =====

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas\\
Everywhere you go\\
Take a look in the five-and-ten\\
Glistening once again\\
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas\\
Toys in every store\\
But the prettiest sight to see\\
Is the holly that will be\\
On your own front door.

A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots\\
Is the wish of Barney and Ben\\
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk\\
Is the hope of Janice and Jen\\
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas\\
Everywhere you go\\
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel\\
One in the park as well\\
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas\\
Soon the bells will start\\
And the thing that will make them ring\\
Is the carol that you sing\\
Right within your heart.
