It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle-belling
And everyone telling you be of good cheer
It's the most wonderful time of the year

It's the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings
When friends come to call
It's the hap-happiest season of all

There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories
Of Christmases long, long ago

It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistletoe-ing
And hearts will be glowing when loved ones are near
It's the most wonderful time of the year

[Harmonica solo]

There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories
Of Christmases long, long ago, long ago

It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistletoe-ing
And hearts will be glowing when loved ones are near
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time of, of the year
