This Time of the Year lyrics
by Irving Berlin
Christmas, alias Xmas
God must respect us
Mmm, this time of the year
(This time of the year)
Oh, but Santa
All anxiously awaiting
When love defeats hating
This time of the year
When Christmastime comes near
I seem to hear
Every man, woman and child
Shoutin' loud and clear
I’m so glad to be here, yes, I am
(This time, this time)
This time of the year
Mama's oven is bakin' plenty lovin’
Dad works hard to buy all of us somethin'
This time of the year, ooh...
(This time of the year)
The streets are crowded
Christmas cheer shoutin'
Trees seem to grow in houses
Oh, this time of the year
