It’s [D]beginning to look a [G]lot like [D]Christmas, [D]every[F#]where you [G]go;
Take a [Em]look in the five-and-[A]ten, [D]glistening once [Bm]again
With [A]candy canes and [E]silver lanes [A]aglow.


It’s [D]beginning to look a [G]lot like [D]Christmas, [D]toys in [F#]every [G]store,
But the [Em]prettiest sight to [A]see is the [D]holly that will [B]be
On your [Em]own [A]front [D]door.


A pair of [F#]hop along boots and a pistol that shoots, is the [Bm]wish of [F#]Barney and [Bm]Ben;
[E]Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk, is the [A]hope of [E]Janice and [A]Jen;
And [A]Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again.


It’s [D]beginning to look a [G]lot like [D]Christmas, [D]every[F#]where you [G]go;
There’s a [Em]tree in the Grand [A]Hotel, [D]one in the park as [Bm]well,
It’s the [A]sturdy kind that [E]doesn’t mind the [A]snow.


It’s [D]beginning to look a [G]lot like [D]Christmas; [D]soon the [F#]bells will [G]start,
And the [Em]thing that will make them [A]ring is the [D]carol that you [B]sing
Right [Em]within [A]your [D]heart.


It’s [D]beginning to look a [G]lot like [D]Christmas, [D]toys in [F#]every [G]store,
But the [Em]prettiest sight to [A]see is the [D]holly that will [B]be
On your [Em]own [A]front [F#]door. [B]Sure it’s [Em]Christmas [A]once [D]more.
