Lyrics

This (C#)time...

(Bm)This (Em6)time...

(Bm)Making Christmas.

Making Christmas.

Making Christmas, making Christmas is so fine.

It's (Edim7)ours this (Bm6)time, and (Edim7)won't the (Bm6)children (Edim7)be (Bm6)surprised?

It's (Em)ours (Bm)this (C#)time!

(F#m)Making Christmas, making Christmas, making Christmas.

(Abm6)Time to (Ebm)give them (Bb7)something (Ebm)fun they'll (Abm6)talk (Ebm)about for (Bb7)years to (Ebm)come.

Let's have a cheer from ev'ryone.

It's time to party!

(F#m)Making (D)Christmas, (D#dim)making (D)(C#7)Christmas.

(Dm)Snakes and mice get wrapped up so nice with (Abm)spider legs and pretty bows!

(Fm)It's (Db)ours (Fm)this (G7)time!

(Cm)All together, (Ab)that and this, with (F7)all our tricks we're (Ab)(D7)making (Cm)(G7)(Cm)Christmastime!

Here comes Jack!

I (Abdim7)don't (Cm)believe what's (D)happ'ning to (Am)me.

My (Dm6)hopes, my (Am)dreams...

my (D)(E)(A)fantasies.

(Cm6)Won't they be impressed?

I am a genius!

See (Ddim7)how I (Am)transformed (E7)this old (Am)rat (Ddim7)into a (Am)most (E7)delightful (Am)hat.

(A)My (Dm)compliments, from (A7)me to you,

on (Dm)this, your most (A7)intriguing hat.

(Dm)Consider, though, this (Gm)substitute:

A (Dm)bat in place of (A7)this old rat.

(Cm)No, no, no, now (Fm)that's all wrong.

This (Cm)thing will never (G7)make a present.

(Cm)It's been dead for (Fm)much too long.

Try (Cm)something fresher, (G7)something pleasant.

(Cm)All together, (Ab)that and this, with (F7)all our tricks we're (Ab)(D7)making (Cm)(G7)(Cm)Christmastime!

(Dbm6)Making Christmas, making Christmas, la, la,

la! It's (Ebdim7)almost (Bbm)here and (F7)we can't (Bbm)wait,

so (Ebdim7)ring the (Bbm)bells and (F7)(Bbm)celebrate.

'Cause when the full moon starts to climb we'll all sing out:

It's (Ebm6)(F7)(Bbm)Christmastime!
