C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S (1949 Version)

When I was but a youngster

Christmas meant one thing

That I'd be getting lots of toys that day

I learned a whole lot different

When mother 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

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

That's why there's a Christmas day...
