[Verse 1]
Little girls, little boys
Dream of words, lots of toys
This time of the year
When Christmas is near
[Verse 2]
Evergreens are snowy white
Sleigh bells ring through the night
This time of the year
When Christmas is near
[Verse 3]
Somewhere near a steeple
People kneel and pray
And choirs sing carols of Christmas day
[Verse 4]
Santa Claus, oh, is on his way
Loads of joy in on his sleigh
This time of the year
Yeah, when Christmas is near
[Verse 5]
Somewhere near a steeple
People, they kneel and pray
Oh, when choirs sing
Oh, they sing carols of Christmas day
Oh, and Santa Claus, oh, is on his way
[Verse 6]
Loads of joy on his sleigh, yeah
This time of the year
Oh, when Christmas is near
[Outro]
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, this time of the year
And, oh, when Christmas is near
Oh, whoa, Christmas is near
