Lirik It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas - Perry Como dan The Fontane Sisters

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Everywhere you go

Take a look at the five and ten, it's glistening once again

With candy canes and silver lanes aglow

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Toys in every store

But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be

On your own front door

Pair of hop-a-long boots and a pistol that shoots

Is the wish of Barney and Ben

Dolls that'll talk and will go for a walk

Is the hope of Janice and Jen

Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Everywhere you go

There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well

The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Soon the bells will start

And the thing that'll make them ring is the carol that you'll sing

Right within your heart

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Toys in every store

And the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be

On your own front door

So, it's Christmas once more
