Introduction

Verse 1

 The streets are filled with Christmas cheer

 At least it's only once a year

Perfect parcels tied with perfect bows,

 And carols ringing in my ear

 I'm bundled up against the cold

Lines wherever gifts are sold

Each shop window displays a Christmas scene

 For everybody young and old

Chorus

Icicles on eavestroughs and tinsel on the tree,

 But it's a green Christmas for me

Verse 2

Couples skating on the pond [couples skating on the pond]

Makin' angels on the lawn [makin' angels on the lawn]

Five red mittens drying on the rad

 And needles shedding tannenbaum

Chorus

Red bows on the railings and snowflakes on the ground,

 But it's a green Christmas in this town

Bridge

 Green, cos of everything I miss

 All this mistletoe, no kiss

 And with every Christmas wish

 There would be no greater gift

 Than to have this envy lift

Instrumental

Verse 3

 (Fa la la la...) Carolers are at my door (Fa la la la...)

 Don't wanna hear them anymore

Chorus

Stockings on the mantle

 The snow's here everyday

 But it's a green Christmas anyway

Red nose on the reindeer and tinsel on the tree

 But it's a green Christmas for me

ENDING:

THAT'S ALL FOLKS!
