[Intro: Peter Buck]
Sorry. The big question is, when will Paul marry Yoko? It'll make the whole thing fit. Are we ready?

[Unknown]
Do you want to check your tuning?

[Buck]
Tuning is just completely incidental to this

[Unknown]
That's for sure

[Buck]
So we're just gonna go

[Mike Mills]
So should we do a, like, two-bar intro or something?

[Michael Stipe]
Yeah

[Buck]
Why don't we do something weird? Why don't we do a G-Sharp for two bars?

[Stipe]
Christmas time is--

[Buck]
That'll be good. You ready? You guys ready? Are we rolling?

[Stipe]
Rolling. They're rolling, I can see them

[Chorus]
Christmas time is here again
Christmas time is here again
Christmas time is here again
Christmas time is here again
Ain't been 'round since who knows when
Christmas time is here again
O-U-T spells out!

[Chorus]
Christmas time is here again
Christmas time is here again
Christmas time is here again
Christmas time is here again
Ain't been 'round since who knows when
Christmas time is here again
O-U-T spells out!

[Chorus]
Christmas time is here again
Christmas time is here again
Christmas time is here again
Christmas time is here again
Ain't been 'round since who knows when
Christmas time is here again
O-U-T spells out!

[Instrumental Breakdown]

[Chorus]
Christmas time is here again
Christmas time is here again
Christmas time is here again
Christmas time is here again
Ain't been 'round since who knows when
Christmas time is here again
O-U-T spells out!

[Chorus]
Christmas time is here again
Christmas time is here again
Christmas time is here again
Christmas time is here again
Ain't been 'round since who knows when
Christmas time is here again
O-U-T spells out!

R.E.M. were an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry.

Berry quit the band in April 1997, as they were getting together to record demos for the album Up. He was not replaced on a permanent basis, but the band used an assortment of drummers in his place.
