lyrics

A Christmas tree is only Christmassy because we only have it at Christmas.
And Christmas time is only Christmas time because we decided to call it Christmas.

So why not spread some Christmas cheer at any old time of year?
Why oh why oh why can't I make Christmas music in July?

Those festive tunes shake off the doom and gloom that try to stifle you all year long.
So why not choose to sing away your blues by channelling that feeling of festive song?

So why not spread some Christmas cheer at any old time of year?
Why oh why oh why can't we make Christmas music summery?

Just put some bells on it
And put a star on
Put some smiles on it
And call it Christmas
Put some more bells on it
To make it Christmassy
Sing it loud and clear
and make it la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lovely

So why not choose to sing away your blues by channelling that feeling of festive song?
Put some bells on it, to make it Christmassy?
And we'll have Christmas time and make it la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lovely.
