The holly green, the ivy green

The prettiest picture you've ever seen

Is Christmas in Killarney

With all of the folks at home



It's nice, you know, to kiss your beau

While cuddling under the mistletoe

And Santa Claus you know, of course

Is one of the boys from home



The door is always open

The neighbors pay a call

And Father John before he's gone

Will bless the house and all



How grand it feels to click your heels

And join in the fun of the jigs and reels

I'm handing you no blarney

The likes you've never known

Is Christmas in Killarney

With all of the folks at home
