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!
