Verse 1

C

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

G7

Everywhere you go

C

Take a look in the five and ten, glistening once again

G7

With candy canes and silver lanes aglow

Chorus

C

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

G7

Toys in every store

C

But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be

G7

On your own front door

Verse 2

C

A pair of hop-along boots and a pistol that shoots

G7

Is the wish of Barney and Ben

C

Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk

G7

Is the hope of Janice and Jen

Chorus

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

G7

On your own front door

Bridge

F C

And mom and dad can hardly wait for school to start again

F C

They’re planning a trip out to the country lane

F C

They’ll be a lot of mistletoe and hearts that will glow

G7

When loved ones meet on Christmas Day

Verse 3

C

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

G7

Everywhere you go

There’s a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well

G7

The sturdy kind that doesn’t mind the snow

On your own front door
