(Doo, doo, doo, doo)

Friendship is a holly tree
That brightens as it grows
Friendship is a holly tree
But love is a Christmas rose

Romance is the mistletoe
That from the ceiling glows
Romance is the mistletoe
But love is a Christmas rose

With this rose I give you
On this Christmas day
Can't you see my darling
What my heart has tried so hard to say?

Friendship is a holly tree (friendship is a holly tree)
That brightens as it grows (that brightens as it grows)
Friendship is a holly tree (friendship is a holly tree)
But love is a Christmas rose (but love is a Christmas rose)

Friendship is a holly tree (romance is the mistletoe)
That brightens as it grows (that from the ceiling glows)
Romance is the mistletoe (romance is the mistletoe)
But love is a Christmas rose (but love is a Christmas rose)

Love is a Christmas rose (friendship is a holly tree)
Love is a Christmas rose (romance is the mistletoe)
Love is a Christmas rose
