INTRODUCTION:         (4x)

VERSE 1:

                                
The streets are filled with Christmas cheer

                    
At least it's only once a year

                               
Perfect parcels tied with perfect bows,

                        
And carols ringing in my ear

                    
I'm bundled up against the cold

                  
Lines wherever gifts are sold

                                   
Each shop window displays a Christmas scene

                       
For everybody young and old


CHORUS:

                                     
Icicles on eavestroughs and tinsel on the tree,

                           
But it's a green Christmas for me

   


VERSE 2:

                              
Couples skating on the pond [couples skating on the pond]

                          
Makin' angels on the lawn [makin' angels on the lawn]

                           
Five red mittens drying on the rad

                          
And needles shedding tannenbaum


CHORUS:

                                          
Red bows on the railings and snowflakes on the ground,

                                     
But it's a green Christmas in this town


BRIDGE:

                              
Green, cos of everything I miss

                           
All this mistletoe, no kiss

                              
And with every Christmas wish

                              
There would be no greater gift

         A  (let ring)
Than to have this envy lift


INSTRUMENTAL:    (2x)

       (8x)


VERSE 3:

                                 
(Fa la la la...) Carolers are at my door (Fa la la la...)

                       
Don't wanna hear them anymore

CHORUS:

                
Stockings on the mantle

                   
The snow's here everyday

                          
But it's a green Christmas anyway

                                        
Red nose on the reindeer and tinsel on the tree

                                
  
But it's a green Christmas for me
