Christmas time is near,
Time of joy and cheer;
Time to hang the stockings up,
Time for Santa dear,
Time to trim the tree,
Time our gifts to see;
Time to sing our happy songs
With jolly Christmas glee! Oh!

Christmas time! Christmas time!
That's the time for play!
So much fun for everyone,
From early morn all day!
Christmas time! Christmas time!
Now we shout "Hooray!"
Oh, how glad we are to have
This jolly Christmas Day!

We have all been good,
As we really should,
(Anyway, we tried to be
As good as we all could!)
For old Santa Claus
Checks us one and all,
And if we forget ourselves
He may forget to call! Oh!

Christmas time! Christmas time!
That's the time for play!
So much fun for everyone,
From early morn all day!
Christmas time! Christmas time!
Now we shout "Hooray!"
Oh, how glad we are to have
This jolly Christmas Day!
