Melodie: Gloria in excelsis deo Christmas time is here again, Decorations everywhere. Christmas carols ringing out, Gentle pagans, we don’t care. Chorus:Glorious!Christmas time is pagan!Glorious!Christmas time is pagan! Modern folks all celebrate What they learned in Sunday School. In December, they don’t know They are celebrating Yule! Chorus Let them have their Christmas trees, Decked in red and green and blue. We rejoice at every one! Christmas trees are pagan, too. Chorus Bowls of bubbly Christmas cheer, Fill your cup and quench your thirst. They think the tradition’s theirs. Wassail bowls were pagan, first. Chorus Every door and window bears Wreaths of holly, wreaths of pine. Circles represent the Sun. Every wreath is yours and mine. Chorus Christmas lights on Christmas trees, Candle flames burn higher and higher, Let us cheer along, my friends, As they light their Yuletide fire. Chorus There’s a possibility That this song is yours and mine ‚Cause the tune was known to all Back in A.D. one-two-nine. Chorus
