lyrics
Frozen noses, cheeks that are roses;
Icy fingers down to your toes.
Snow is blowing, drifts are a-growing;
Winter's here and Christmas is near.
Sing fa la la la la la,
La la la, la la la
Sing fa la la la la la,
For Christmas is here.
Fa la la la la la,
La la la, la la la
Fa la la la la la
For Christmas is here.
Trees to trim and yule logs for warming;
Holiday cooking all to prepare.
Lights to string and gifts we are making;
Christmas day is now drawing near.
Sing fa la la la la la,
La la la, la la la
Sing fa la la la la la,
For Christmas is here.
Fa la la la la la,
La la la, la la la
Fa la la la la la
For Christmas is here.
Church bells ringing, carols for singing;
All together, from far and near.
Season's greetings everyone's sending;
Peace to all for Christmas is here.
Sing fa la la la la la,
La la la, la la la
Sing fa la la la la la,
For Christmas is here.
Fa la la la la la,
La la la, la la la
Fa la la la la la
For Christmas is here.
Sing fa la la la la la,
La la la, la la la
Sing fa la la la la la,
For Christmas is here.
