It's Beginning To Look a Lot Like Christmas

By Meredith Willson

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas,
Everywhere you go;
Take a look in 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 for 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;
Now 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.

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 for Janice and Jen;
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again.

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.
