It's the most wonderful time of the year,
With the kids jingle belling,
And everyone telling you, "Be of good cheer"
It's the most wonderful time of the year.

It's the hap-happiest season of all,
With those holiday greetings,
And glad happy meetings when friends come to call,
It's the hap-happiest season of all.

There'll be parties for hosting,
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow,
There'll be scary ghost stories and tales of the glories
Of Christmases long, long ago.

It's the most wonderful time of the year,
There'll be much mistletoe-ing
And hearts will be glowing, when loved ones are near,
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
