Perry Como
When I was but a youngster
Christmas meant one thing,
That Id 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 travelled far
m is for the manger where he lay
a s for all he stands for
s means shepards came
And thats why theres a christmas day!
<instrumental break >
And thats why theres a christmas day!
