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
