August and september
Summertime is done
Days of sweet november
Grow shorter one by one
Autumn leaves are falling
And wintertime is near
It's getting very close
To that special time of year

The snow will be the whitest
Stars will shine the brightest
Bells will ring out merry and clear
When we all get home for christmas this year
The kids will want the day off
Trying hard to stay up
Waiting for saint nick to appear
When we all get home for christmas this year

With mom and dad to meet us
And dear old friends to greet us
We will have the sweetest of holidays
And when it's time for parting
We'll recall the fun we had
And think of all the love that was here
And we'll all get home for christmas next year
Yes, we'll all get home for christmas next year

With mom and dad to meet us
And dear old friends to greet us
We will have the sweetest of holidays
And when it's time for parting
We'll recall the fun we had
And think of all the love that was here
Then we'll all come home for christmas next year
Yes, we'll all come home for christmas next year

Next christmas!
The snow will be the whitest
Stars will be shine their brightest
The kids will want they day off
Trying hard to stay up
Mom and dad will meet us
Dear old friends to greet us
At christmas
At christmas
