Intro
Well, would you look at that!
Verse 1
The moon’s dressed up in silver,
The stars are out in style,
The whole town’s looking marvelous,
And everyone’s wearing a smile.
The doorman’s humming carols,
The cabbies tip their hats,
And Santa’s on the avenue
Just stopping by to chat!
Pre-Chorus
The bells are keeping time,
The snowflakes all in line,
And everything is falling into place!
So pour a little cheer,
The best night of the year
Is written on every face!
Chorus
Oh, what a night for Christmas!
What a night to be alive!
The horns are blowing,
The whole town’s glowing,
And everybody’s feeling fine!
Oh, what a night for Christmas!
Hear those sleigh bells swing!
With a little bit of wonder,
And a whole lot of thunder,
It’s a beautiful night for everything!
Verse 2
The baker’s made a fortune,
The florist’s sold his last,
The snowman’s got a top hat
And he’s looking mighty first-class!
The choir’s on the corner,
The brass band’s down the street,
And every little snowflake
Seems to land right on the beat!
Pre-Chorus
The bells are keeping time,
The snowflakes all in line,
And everything is falling into place!
So pour a little cheer,
The best night of the year
Is written on every face!
Chorus
Oh, what a night for Christmas!
What a night to be alive!
The horns are blowing,
The whole town’s glowing,
And everybody’s feeling fine!
Oh, what a night for Christmas!
Hear those sleigh bells swing!
With a little bit of wonder,
And a whole lot of thunder,
It’s a beautiful night for everything!
Instrumental Break
Bridge
Now I’ve seen some lovely evenings,
And I’ve danced beneath the stars,
I’ve had champagne in grand hotels,
And I’ve ridden in fancy cars.
But give me one December evening,
With the whole world dressed in white,
And I’ll tell you, ladies and gentlemen…
There’s nothing quite like tonight!
Final Chorus
Oh, what a night for Christmas!
What a night to be alive!
The horns are blowing,
The whole town’s glowing,
And everybody’s feeling fine!
Oh, what a night for Christmas!
Let those sleigh bells swing!
With a little bit of wonder,
And a whole lot of thunder,
It’s a beautiful night for everything!
Outro
Yes, it’s a beautiful night…
A wonderful, snow-falling, bell-ringing night…
Oh, what a night…
What a night for Christmas!
