lyrics

★ THE BELLS! THE BELLS! ★

CHRISTMAS IS THE TIME FOR GIVING
THE TIME OF JOY A TIME FOR LIVING
CHRISTMAS GIVING DON’T MAKE THE CUT
IT GIVES ME A PAIN IN THE BUTT

CHRISTMAS MEANS CAROLS AND FRIENDS
DRUMMER BOYS SHEPHERDS WISE MEN
CHRISTMAS MEANS CAROLS ALL RIGHT
I’M HAPPY WITH A SILENT NIGHT

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS FOR IT TO BE OVER SOON
I DON’T NEED NO PRESENTS SO PLEASE DON’T GIFT ME
ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS FOR IT TO BE OVER SOON
AND HOW I WISH IT WAS ALREADY JUNE

CHRISTMAS COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR
BRINGING GOOD WILL AND FULL OF GOOD CHEER
CHRISTMAS COMES SO TIP YOUR HAT
YOU CAN THANK CHRIST FOR THAT

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS FOR IT TO BE OVER SOON
I DON’T NEED NO PRESENTS SO PLEASE DON’T GIFT ME
YEAH ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS FOR IT TO BE OVER SOON
AND I WISH IT WAS THE MIDDLE OF JUNE

CHRISTMAS WASN’T ON THE 25TH OF DECEMBER
THE ROMANS CHANGED THE CALENDAR REMEMBER
NO CHRISTMAS WASN’T ON THE 25TH OF DECEMBER
YOU MAY SAY IT’S HEAVEN-SENT BUT I GAVE IT UP FOR LENT

CHRISTMAS COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR
BRINGING GOOD WILL AND FULL OF GOOD CHEER
CHRISTMAS COMES SO TIP YOUR HAT
YOU CAN THANK CHRIST FOR THAT

AND ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS FOR IT TO BE OVER SOON
I DON’T NEED NO PRESENTS SO PLEASE DON’T GIFT ME
YEAH ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS FOR IT TO BE OVER SOON
OH HOW I WISH IT WAS ALREADY JUNE

YEAH I WISH IT WAS THE MIDDLE OF JUNE
I WISH IT WAS ALREADY JUNE

THE BELLS THE BELLS
OH NO NOT THE BELLS
NOT THE BELLS
