Lyrics
Christmas Time of the Year
By Bruce Bergh
Snowflakes falling white on the ground
The big fat man is coming to town
Shoppers scurrying all around
It’s that Christmas time of the year!
Christmas lights are twinkling at night
Jingle bells are tinkling in flight
All in all, it’s a wonderful sight
It’s that Christmas time of the year!
Snowmen dance, reindeer shine,
Scrooge is happy, the Grinch is kind,
An open sleigh with your hand in mine-
Laughin’ all the way!
Making angels in the snow
Warming by the fire’s glow
Kissin' ‘neath the mistletoe
It’s that Christmas time of the year!
Instrumental
Cars are buried in snow on the street
Freezing nose and fingers and feet
Slapped in the face with wind and sleet
It’s that Christmas time of the year!
Been shoveling out my drive all day
The sun is gone, and it’s cold and grey
Need a tropical place to get away and play
It’s that Christmas time of the year!
It’s that Christmas time.
Hear the church bells chime
It’s that Christmas time,
The Christmas time of the year!
