Lyrics
Have a holly jolly Christmas
Expressing wishes for a joyful Christmas season.
It's the best time of the year
Highlighting Christmas as a special and enjoyable time.
Now I don't know if there'll be snow
Uncertain about snow but encouraging a positive outlook.
But have a cup of cheer
Suggesting the enjoyment of a warm, festive drink.
Have a holly jolly Christmas
Reiterating the wish for a joyful Christmas.
And when you walk down the street
Encouraging friendly interactions while strolling.
Say hello to friends you know
Encouraging greetings to familiar faces and strangers alike.
And everyone you meet
Promoting a friendly and sociable attitude.
Ho ho the mistletoe
Referencing the tradition of kissing under mistletoe.
Is hung where you can see
Describing the placement of mistletoe for romantic encounters.
Somebody waits for you
Implies someone is eagerly waiting for the listener.
Kiss her once for me
Asking for a kiss to be given on the behalf of the speaker.
Have a holly jolly Christmas
Repeating the wish for a joyful Christmas.
And in case you didn't hear
Ensuring that the message is heard and understood.
Oh by golly have a holly jolly Christmas
Reaffirming the wish for a joyful Christmas this year.
This year
Emphasizing the current Christmas season.
Ho ho the mistletoe
Reiterating the mistletoe tradition for romantic moments.
Is hung where you can see
Repeating the idea of someone waiting under the mistletoe.
Somebody waits for you
Emphasizing the anticipation of a romantic encounter.
Kiss her once for me
Requesting another kiss on the behalf of the speaker.
Have a holly jolly Christmas
Finalizing the wish for a joyful Christmas.
And in case you didn't hear
Reiterating the importance of hearing the message.
Oh by golly have a holly jolly Christmas
Reaffirming the wish for a joyful Christmas this year.
This year
Concluding the expression of festive joy.
