Have yourself a merry little Christmas
let your heart be light
from now on our troubles will be out of sight
Merry Christmas, Merry Merry Christmas!

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
make the yuletide gay
from now on our troubles will be miles away!
All your troubles soon turn into bubbles!

Once again, as in olden days
happy golden days of yore
faithful friends who are dear to us
gather near to us once more! ( Once more! )

Through the years we all will be together
if the fates allow;
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
and have yourself a merry little Christmas
now!

. . . have yourself a merry, merry, merry
merry little Christmas now!
