Let’s Have An Old-Fashioned Christmas
Let’s have an old-fashioned Christmas, just like a black and white movie scene,
Under mistletoe us kissin’, the falling snow a glistenin' while we hold hands among the evergreens
Let’s have an old-fashioned Christmas, we’ll find the prettiest tree,
String some popcorn garland, paper decorations my darlin’,
An old-fashioned Christmas, you and me.
So let’s have an old-fashioned Christmas, knitted stockings side by side,
Make a roaring fire, wear our fanciest attire, then go on a romantic sleighride
Let’s have an old-fashioned Christmas, only fine china will do,
With a tablecloth that’s lacy, on the phonograph Count Basie,
An old-fashioned Christmas, me and you
But dear I’m in a tizzy,
This time of year’s too busy,
Let’s slow down and wind the clock back
And let’s have an old-fashioned Christmas, oh that’s what I wanna do,
Under mistletoe us kissin’, the falling snow a glistenin’
An old-fashioned Christmas with you.
