     It's Beginning To Look Like Christmas
          Meredith Williams, 1951







It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
    everywhere you go.
Take a look at 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.
