Green Christmas Lyrics

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

 

 Bundled up against the cold

 Lines wherever gifts are sold

 Each shop window displays a Christmas scene

 For everybody young and old

 

 Icicles on eavesdrops and tinsel on the tree,

 But it's a green Christmas for me

 

 Couples skating on the pond (couples skating the pond)

 Making angels on the lawn (makin' angels on the lawn)

 Five red mittens drying on the rack

 And needles shedding tannenbaum

 

 Red bows on the railings and snowflakes on the ground,

 But it's a green Christmas in this town

 

 Green, cause of everything I miss

 All this mistletoe, no kiss

 And with every Christmas wish

 There would be no greater gift

 Than to have this envy lift

 

 Carolers are at my door (Fa la la la) [etc..]

 Don't wanna hear them anymore

 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
