[Verse 1]
D B7 E7 A7
Christmas time is here, by golly, disapproval would be folly,
D D/C G/B Gm/Bb
Deck the halls with hunks of holly,
D E7 A7
Fill the cup, and don't say, 'When!'
D B7
Kill the turkeys, ducks and chickens,
E7 A7
Mix the punch, ...drag out the Dickens,
D D/C G/B Gm/Bb D Em7 A7 D
Even though the prospect sickens, brother, here we go a - gain!
[Verse 2]
D D/C G/B
On Christmas day you can't get sore,
Gm/Bb D/A
Your fellow man you must adore,
Bm Gm/Bb D/A E7
There's time to rob him all the more,
A E7 A7 A9 A7 *
The other three hundred and six - ty - four!
[Verse 3]
D B7 E7 A7
Re - lations, sparing no expense'll send some useless old utensil,
D D/C G/B Gm/Bb D E7 A7
Or a matching pen and pencil, "Just the thing I need! How nice!"
D B7 E7
It doesn't matter how sincere it is,
A7 D D/C G/B Gm/Bb
Nor how heart - felt the spirit, senti- ment will not en - dear it,
D Em7 A7 D
What's im - portant is the price!
[Bridge]
D A7 D/F# D D/A A7
'Hark the 'Her - ald Tri - bune' sings------,

Adver - tising wond - rous things!'
Bm F# Bm F#m G D G F# Bm Em F#
'God rest ye merry merch - ants, may ye make the yule - tide pay!'
D A7 D A A7 D D/A D A7 D A7 D
'An - gels we have heard on high, tell us to go out, and buy!'
[Verse 4]

So----, ...let the raucous sleigh bells jingle,
E7 A7
Hail our dear old friend, Kris Kringle,
D A7 B7 Em
Driving his reindeer a - cross the sky----,

Don't stand underneath when they ...fly ...by----!
