Over the River and Through the Woods

Over the river and through the woods, to grandmothers house we go

The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh through white and drifty snow

Over the river and through the woods, oh, how the wind does blow

It stings the toes and bites the nose that's over the ground we go

Merry Christmas, merry Christmas

Hark, the bells are ringing, hear the children singing

Merry Christmas, merry Christmas

Gather all your friends around and wish them well

Over the river and through the woods to have a first rate play

Oh, hear the be-

(Oh, hear the bells ring, ting a ling-ling, hurray for Christmas day)

Wait a minute Alvin I'm supposed to that

Over the river and through the woods, trot past my apple-my dapple

(Spring over the ground like a hunting hound for this is Christmas Day)

Merry Christmas, merry Christmas

Hark, the bells are ringing, hear the children singing

Merry Christmas, merry Christmas

Gather all your friends around and wish them well

Over the river and through the woods, and straight through the barnyard gate

We seem to go extremely slow, it is so hard to wait

Over the river and through the woods, now grandmother's cap I spy

Hurrah for the fun, the pudding is done, hurrah for pumpkin pie!

Over the river and through the woods, to grandmothers house we go
