Well, it’s (Bb)Christ mas time, pret ty ba by,

Got no sleigh with pret rein ty stock deer,

You’re gon na see me com in’ in a big black Cad il lac.

Ho, ho, it’s (Eb7)Christ mas time, pret ty ba by, and the snow is fall in’ on the ground.

You be a (F7)real good lit tle girl,

’cause San ta Claus is back in town.

’cause San ta Claus is back in town (Bb)(Christ mas,

(Eb)Christ mas,
