Snowy days and frosty nights
Everything looks cold and white
Hangin’ round the mistletoe
Hangin’ round the mistletoe
Christmas Day will soon be here
And everybody’s full of cheer
Hangin’ round the mistletoe
Waitin’ for you dear
Well, I’ve waited all year long
Now the year is almost gone
Hangin’ round the mistletoe
Hangin’ round the mistletoe
But if that’s what I got to do
Just to get a kiss from you
I’m hangin’ round the mistletoe
Waitin’ for you dear
Christmas is a special time
To give and to receive
For every little kiss you give me
I will give you three
You ain’t gonna miss one kiss
That’s one thing you’ll never miss
I’m hangin’ round the mistletoe
Waitin’ for you dear
I’ve had my eyes on you
For a long, long time
So I’m asking Santa please
Make that pretty girl mine
I’ve waited till I’m cold and blue
Just to get a kiss from you
Hangin’ round the mistletoe
Waitin’ for you dear
Hangin’ round the mistletoe
Waitin’ for you dear
