I should tell you Christmas bells are ringing How time flies When compassion dies No stocking, no candy canes No gingerbread, no safety net No loose change, no change, no Santa Claus is coming 'Cause Santa Claus ain't coming

Christmas bells are ringing Follow, follow Honest living, honest living And it's beginning to snow Twenty five Twenty four Twenty three No room at the Holiday Inn, Oh no

Carolers singing Sleigh bells are ringing It's that time of year Everyone's toasting Chestnuts are roasting Christmas time is near Something's missing and I'm wishing Wishing that you knew How much it would mean to spend this
