Lyrics
This is how Christmas ought to be
With Mistletoe and a great big family,
Sittin by the fire
Grand Pa will inspire
Grand kids to be listening at his knee
This is how Christmas ought to be.
Red and green and tinsel color too.
Gifts of every color shape and hue.
In hats and scarves and mittens
Little kids are sittin
At the North Pole bouncin up on Santa's knee.
This is how Christmas ought to be.
Break.
Carols we are singin
Goodwill we are bringin'
To everyone we know from A to Z.
This is how Christmas ought to be.
We're going to see Santa fly,
Around the world
In just one night.
This is how Christmas ought to be.
With light on every branch of every tree.
No one will be sleepin'
Down the stairs we're creepin'
Catchin' Santa slidin' down the old chimney,
This is how Christmas ought to be.
