We can walk out after dark
'Cause it's Christmas Time!
Colored lights glow from the park
'Cause it's Christmas Time!
And the bells on the reindeer sled say
"It's Christmas Time!"
And the quilt on the back of the bed say
"It's Christmas Time!"

I think about how we could run away
Now that it's Christmas Time!
We'd travel in a one-horse open sleigh
Now that it's Christmas Time!

There's your father with his pipe
He says it's Christmas Time!
He might let us stay up all night
Because it's Christmas Time!
I might wish you all the best
Because it's Christmas Time!
I might kiss you on the back of your neck
Because it's Christmas Time!

I think about how we could run away
Now that it's Christmas Time!
We travel in a one-horse open sleigh
Now that it's Christmas Time!

(Fa la la la la la la la la la)
(La la la la la la la! It's Christmas Time)
