WHEN I WAS
BUT A YOUNGSTER
CHRISTMAS MEANT
ONE THING
THAT I'D BE GETTING
LOTS OF TOYS
THAT DAY
THEN ONE COLD
DECEMBER
MY MAMA SAT ME DOWN
AND TAUGHT ME
TO SPELL CHRISTMAS
THIS WAY
"C" IS FOR
THE CHRIST CHILD
BORN UPON THIS DAY
"H" FOR
HERALD ANGELS
IN THE NIGHT
"R" MEANS
OUR REDEEMER
"I" MEANS ISRAEL
AND "S" IS FOR THE STAR
THAT SHONE SO BRIGHT
"T" IS FOR
THREE WISE MEN
THEY WHO
TRAVELED FAR
"M" IS FOR THE MANGER
WHERE HE LAY
"A" 's FOR
ALL HE STANDS FOR
"S" MEANS
SHEPHERDS CAME
AND THAT'S WHY
THERE'S A
CHRISTMAS DAY
8 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
"A" 's FOR
ALL HE STANDS FOR
"S" MEANS
SHEPHERDS CAME
AND THAT'S WHY
THERE'S A
CHRISTMAS DAY
AND THAT'S WHY
THERE'S A
CHRISTMAS DAY
