Oh, by gosh, by golly

It's time for mistletoe and holly

Tasty pheasants, Christmas presents

Countrysides covered with snow



Oh, by gosh, by jingle

It's time for carols and Kris Kringle

Overeating, merry greetings

From relatives you don't know



Then comes that big night

Giving the tree the trim

You'll hear voices by starlight

Singing a Yuletide hymn



Oh, by gosh, by golly

It's time for mistletoe and holly

Fancy ties an' granny's pies

An' folks stealin' a kiss or two

As they whisper, "Merry Christmas" to you

Oh, by gosh, by golly

It's time for mistletoe and holly

Fancy ties an' granny's pies

An' folks stealin' a kiss or two

As they whisper, "Merry Christmas" to you
