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
