Christmas time is here, by golly,  
G7          C7  
Disapproval would be folly,  
F        F7         Bb       Bbm  
Deck the halls with hunks of holly,  
F                G7        C7  
Fill the cup and don't say "when."  
F                           D7  
Kill the turkeys, ducks and chickens,  
G7                  C7  
Mix the punch, drag out the dickens,  
F    F7         Bb       Bbm  
Even though the prospect sickens,  
F        Gm7     C7   F  
Brother, here we go a-gain.  

             F7      Bb   
On Christmas day you can't get sore,  
            Bbm     F  
Your fellow man you must adore,  
        Dm      Db      F       G7  
There's time to rob him all the more  
    C           G7          C7  
The other three hundred and sixty-four.  

    F                       D7  
Rel-ations, sparing no expense'll  
G7                C7  
Send some useless old utensil,  
F    F7       Bb      Bbm  
Or a matching pen and pencil.  
          F                G7        C7  
SPOKEN - "just the thing I need! how nice!"  
   F                      D7  
It doesn't matter how sin-cere it  
G7                C7  
Is, nor how heart-felt the spirit,  
F     F7        Bb     Bbm  
Senti-ment will not en-dear it,  
F         Gm7     C7     F  
What's im-portant is the price.  

F            C   F         C  
Hark the her-ald tribune sings,  
F  Am  Bb  Gm  F   C    F  
Ad-ver-tis-ing wondrous things.  
    Dm      A7     Dm    Am  
God rest ye merry, merch-ants,  
Bb  F   Bb   A   Dm   Gm   A  
May you make the yule-tide pay.  
F              Gm    C7 F  
Angels we have heard on high  
F    C7 F         C7  F  
Tell us to go out and buy!  

C7 F                            D7  
So let the raucous sleigh bells jingle,  
G7                C7  
Hail our dear old friend Kris Kringle,  
F           C7         D7        Gm  
Driving his reindeer a-cross the sky.  
D7    Gm                    C7       F   C7   F  
Don't stand underneath when they fly by.
