Oh, by gosh, by gol - ly,
It's time for mis - tle - toe and hol - ly,
Tas - ty pheas - ants, Christ - mas pre - sents,
Coun - try - sides cov - ered with snow.
Oh, by gosh, by jin - gle,
It's time for car - ols and Kris Krin - gle,
Ov - er - eat - ing, mer - ry greet - ings
From rel - a - tives you don't know.
Then comes that big night,
Giv - ing the tree the trim;
You'll hear voi - ces by star - light
Sing - ing a Yule - tide hymn.
Oh, by gosh, by gol - ly,
It's time for mist - le - toe and hol - ly,
Fan - cy ties an' gran - ny's pies,
An' folks stea - lin' a kiss or two
As they whis - per, "Mer - ry Christ - mas" to you.
