[Intro]
Ding-dong-ding
Ding-dong-ding

[Verse 1]
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year
Now I don’t know if there'll be snow
But have a cup of cheer
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet

[Pre-Chorus]
Ho, ho the mistletoe
Hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss him once for me

[Chorus]
Have a holly, jolly Christmas (Ding-dong-ding)
And in case you didn't hear (Ding-dong-ding)
Oh, by golly have a holly, jolly Christmas
This year

[Bridge]
Ahh, let’s let these boys play some Christmas music
And that is sweeter than Christmas candy
Oh, I just love Christmas
All the celebrations, all the presents
Fun with family and friends
Oh, every year I love singin' this song
And I thought, well, why not just do a whole album called A Holly Dolly Christmas
So I did

[Chorus]
Have a holly, jolly Christmas (Ding-dong-ding)
And in case you didn't hear (Ding-dong-ding)
Oh, by golly have a holly, jolly Christmas
This year

[Verse 1]
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year
Now I don't know if there'll be snow
But have a cup of cheer
Have a holly, jolly Christmas (Ding-dong-ding)
And when you walk down the street (Ding-dong-ding)
Say hello to friends you know
And to everyone you meet

[Pre-Chorus]
Ho, ho the mistletoe
Hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Won't you kiss him once for me

[Chorus]
Have a holly, jolly Christmas (Ding-dong-ding)
And in case you didn't hear (Ding-dong-ding)
Oh, by golly have a holly, jolly Christmas
This year

[Outro]
Oh, by golly have a holly, jolly Christmas
This year (holly, jolly Christmas)
Ooh-ooh, yeah

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
