"Hey Bessie it's Christmas here"

Here! Here! Hurray for Christmas

Christmas comes but once a year, and to me it brings good cheer,

and to everyone who likes wine and beer

Happy New Year is after that, happy I'll be, that is a fact

That is why I like to hear, folks I say that Christmas is here

Christmas bells will ring real soon, even in the afternoon

There'll be no chimes shall ring at the Christmas Ball

Everyone must watch their step, or they will loose their rep

Everybody full of fare at the Christmas Ball

(Excellent Joe Smith solo)

Grab your partner one an' all, keep on dancing 'round the hall

Then there's no one to fall, don't you dare to

strut

If your partner don't act fair, don't worry there's some more over there

Seekin' a chance everywhere at the Christmas Ball
