Lyrics
Have a holly jolly Christmas
Wishing a joyful and festive Christmas
It's the best time of the year
Expressing that Christmas is a special and enjoyable time
Well, I don't know if there'll be snow
Uncertain about the presence of snow during Christmas
But have a cup of cheer
Suggesting to enjoy a warm and joyful beverage
Have a holly jolly Christmas
Reiterating the wish for a joyful Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Encouraging greeting friends while walking in the neighborhood
Say hello to friends you know
Encouraging saying hello to familiar faces
And everyone you meet
Promoting friendliness to everyone one encounters
Hey ho, the mistletoe
Referring to the tradition of hanging mistletoe
Hung where you can see
Indicating mistletoe is visible and accessible
Somebody waits for you
Someone is eagerly waiting for you under the mistletoe
Kiss her once for me
Requesting a kiss to be given on behalf of the speaker
Have a holly jolly Christmas
Repeating the wish for a joyful Christmas
And in case you did not hear
Ensuring the message is heard, emphasizing joy
Oh, by golly
An expression of surprise or emphasis
Have a holly jolly Christmas
Reiterating the wish for a joyful Christmas
This year
Specifically referring to the current year
Have a holly jolly Christmas
Repeating the wish for a joyful Christmas
It's the best time of the year
Reiterating that Christmas is a special and enjoyable time
I don't know if there'll be snow
Uncertain about the presence of snow during Christmas
But have a cup of cheer
Suggesting to enjoy a warm and joyful beverage
Have a holly jolly Christmas
Repeating the wish for a joyful Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Encouraging greeting friends while walking in the neighborhood
Say hello to friends you know
Encouraging saying hello to familiar faces
And everybody that you meet
Promoting friendliness to everyone one encounters
Hey ho, the mistletoe
Referring to the tradition of hanging mistletoe
Hung where you can see
Indicating mistletoe is visible and accessible
Somebody waits for you
Someone is eagerly waiting for you under the mistletoe
Kiss her once for me
Requesting a kiss to be given on behalf of the speaker
Have a holly jolly Christmas
Repeating the wish for a joyful Christmas
And in case you did not hear
Ensuring the message is heard, emphasizing joy
Oh, by golly
An expression of surprise or emphasis
Have a holly jolly Christmas
Reiterating the wish for a joyful Christmas
This year
Specifically referring to the current year
Oh, by golly
An exclamation of surprise or emphasis
Have a holly jolly Christmas
Reiterating the wish for a joyful Christmas
This year
Specifically referring to the current year
