[Intro]
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to everyone
Merry Christmas

[Verse 1]
Christmas on the square
Everybody's there
Laughing, singing
Bells are ringing
Snow is in the air
Carolers singing
Gifts exchanged
Lovers walk in pairs
Trees aglow and mistletoe
It's Christmas on the square

[Chorus]
Christmas on the square
Catch me if you dare
Runnin' frantic, playful antics
Jokesters everywhere
Streets alike with snowball fights
You better duck, beware
Friends and neighbors cuttin' capers
Christmas on the square

[Verse 2]
Together as each year we joyfully meet here
To celebrate family and friends
And we all stick together
No matter whatever
It's a wonderful town we live in
Howdy friends!

[Chorus 2]
Christmas on the square
Nothing ordinaire
It's a holly Dolly Christmas folly
I had to get that in there (Why not?)
Coats and hats and such as that
And thermal underwear (Underwear?)
Scarves and sweaters
Furs and feathers
Christmas on the square

[Spoken Bridge]
Come on, boys!
I know you wanna play some
Yeehaw
(Now swing your partner 'round and 'round)
Aww, y'all are spinning around down here
Well, all this celebratin', all this music and dancing is making me hungry
(Well, whatcha got cooking?)

[Verse 3]
There's turkey and stuffing
And cranberry muffins
Potatoes and gravy and peas (Yummy)
Cakes, ham, and biscuits
However you fix it
You're in for a fabulous feast (Let's eat)

[Chorus 3]
Christmas on the square
Everybody's there
Sleighs and skates and chestnuts baked
Everybody shares (Everybody)
Dancing lines and such good times
I hope to see you there (See you there)
So come on down and join our town
Christmas on the square
Oh, what fun for everyone
Christmas on the square

[Outro]
Hey fiddler
Christmas on the square
Banjo, banjo
Christmas on the square
Celebrate, let's celebrate
Christmas on the square
Come on down
Yeehaw

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
