Have A Holly Jolly Christmas
Embrace the Festive Joy with Harry Connick, Jr.'s Holly Jolly Christmas
Lyrics
Have a holly jolly Christmas
Wishing for a joyful and festive Christmas
It's the best time of the year
Expressing that Christmas is a special and enjoyable time
I don't know if there'll be snow
Uncertainty about whether there will be snow during Christmas
But have a cup of cheer
Encouraging to enjoy a warm and comforting beverage (cup of cheer)
Have a holly jolly Christmas
Reiterating the wish for a joyful Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Encouraging social interaction and greeting people while walking down the street
Say hello to friends you know
Suggesting to greet and acknowledge friends and acquaintances
And everyone you meet
Encouraging friendliness towards everyone encountered
Ho ho the mistletoe
Referring to the tradition of mistletoe and the opportunity for a kiss
Hung where you can see
Describing the placement of mistletoe where it can be easily seen
Somebody waits for you
Indicating that someone is waiting for the listener under the mistletoe
Kiss her once for me
Requesting the listener to kiss the person under the mistletoe on behalf of the speaker
Have a holly jolly Christmas
Repeating the wish for a holly jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't hear
Ensuring that the listener is aware of the joyful Christmas atmosphere
Oh, bygolly
An expression of surprise or emphasis
Have a holly jolly Christmas
Repeating the wish for a holly jolly Christmas, specifying "this year"
This year
Emphasizing the current year as the time for a joyful Christmas
Oh, ho, the mistletoe
Repeating the mistletoe theme, suggesting more opportunities for kisses
Hung where you can see
Reiterating mistletoe placement for potential romantic moments
Somebody waits for you
Repeating the idea that someone is eagerly awaiting a kiss
Kiss her once for me
Requesting the listener to give a kiss under the mistletoe on behalf of the speaker
Have a holly jolly Christmas
Reiterating the wish for a holly jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't hear
Ensuring that the listener is aware of the joyful Christmas atmosphere
Oh, bygolly
An expression of surprise or emphasis
Have a holly jolly Christmas
Repeating the wish for a holly jolly Christmas, specifying "this year"
This year
Emphasizing the current year as the time for a joyful Christmas
